Problem
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems traditionally rely on swept lasers with mechanical moving parts, which can limit scanning speed, introduce noise, and shorten lifespan, impacting the accuracy and efficiency of medical imaging. These limitations can hinder early and accurate diagnosis in critical medical applications.
Solution
Insight manufactures all-semiconductor swept lasers designed specifically for OCT, eliminating the need for mechanical components. This akinetic design enables high-speed scanning, reduces noise, and extends the operational lifespan of the laser. The resulting high signal-to-noise ratio enhances imaging accuracy, leading to improved diagnostic capabilities and patient outcomes. Furthermore, the all-semiconductor approach promises to significantly reduce laser costs compared to traditional designs.
