      A year ago, Greg Smolka predicted that the market for optical coherence tomography (OCT) would keep growing, passing the $800 million mark by 2012. And then the recession swooped in. Not to worry, says Smolka, vice president of the industrial, military and space business unit at Vectron International in Hudson, N.H. He authored a comprehensive market report on OCT technology titled “Optical Coherence Tomography – Technology, Markets, and Applications: 2008-2012” in February 2008. But he doesn’t think today’s economic downward spiral will kill the OCT market.
