Abstract
In this paper, an ultra high speed (92 kHz A-line rate) one micron spectral domain ultra high sensitive optical microangiography system was demonstrated and successfully applied on posterior part of human eye for in vivo visualizing blood perfusions of both retina and choroid. A 1 μm ASE module was utilized as the light source, which could provide much more penetration depth than conventional 800 nm system. Running at 200 frames per second, it would cost ~5 seconds for the system to finish acquiring one 3D data set, which covers ~3×3 mm2 on the retina. Applying the OMAG algorithm onto the slow axis (C-scan direction), our system can extract detailed capillary level ocular perfusion maps for different layers of both retina and choroid. The excellent agreement with the standard text book shows great potential in clinical application.
