Abstract
The signal-to-noise ratio of an optical coherence tomography system is inversely proportional to the spectral bandwidth of its input light source. In this work, we have modified a conventional 1 μm swept-source retinal imaging system to have two input laser states to exploit this trade-off. The states have constant average power but are concentrated over two wavelength ranges - one with a 75 nm bandwidth (optimized for high-resolution imaging of the retina) and a second with a 25 nm bandwidth (favoring increased penetration depth in the choroid, sclera and lamina cribrosa.) A fusion of the data from these two modes provides enhanced images of the whole posterior eye.
