Abstract
Increased adoption of optical coherence tomography (OCT) by the medical community has been hampered by its high price and bulky form factor. We aim to build an on-chip OCT system using silicon photonics technologies. Our on-chip OCT system includes three components: a spectrometer, a tunable delay line reference arm, and an optical phased array (OPA) beam scanner. In this abstract, we describe the design of the on-chip spectrometer. We design a digital Fourier transform (dFT) spectrometer centered at 1310nm (100nm bandwidth), with 1024 spectral channels, and 0.0977nm spectral resolution providing up to 108.45dB sensitivity and an axial resolution of 8.8µm.
