BaySpec, a developer of spectroscopy instrumentation, and Goodrich's ISR Systems' Princeton team, a manufacturer of infrared imaging sensors and cameras, have developed a new optical coherence tomography (OCT) spectral engine they say offers breakthrough speed, compact size, and high optical throughput.
The spectral engine is intended for use in 1.31 µm OCT systems, which are perfectly suited for dental and other medical and biomedical applications, according to the companies.
"The performance-to-price ratio and ruggedness of this system will enable new portable, OCT systems that can be shuttled around doctor's offices with ease," said Eric Bergles, vice president of sales and marketing for BaySpec, in a press release.
