We characterized en face features of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and choroid in eyes with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) using a high-speed, enhanced tissue penetration, swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) prototype. Fifteen eyes of 13 consecutive patients with the clinical diagnosis of CSCR were prospectively examined with SS-OCT. Three-dimensional 6x6mm macular cube raster scans were obtained with SS-OCT operating at 1050nm wavelength and 100,000 A-lines/sec with 6µm axial resolution. Segmentation of the RPE generated a reference surface; en face SS-OCT images of the RPE and choroid were extracted at varying depths every 3.5 µm ...

An agile optical imaging system for optical coherence tomography imaging using a tunable source comprising a wavelength tunable VCL laser is disclosed. The tunable source has long coherence length and is capable of high sweep repetition rate, as well as changing the sweep trajectory, sweep speed, sweep repetition rate, sweep linearity, and emission wavelength range on the fly to support multiple modes of OCT imaging. The imaging system also offers new enhanced dynamic range imaging capability for accommodating bright reflections. Multiscale imaging capability allows measurement over orders of magnitude dimensional scales. The imaging system and methods for generating the waveforms ...
