If your OCT system must operate on a 24/7 basis, you need to use AlazarTech products.

AlazarTech provides a complete solution for SS-OCT applications, including:

  • Low Noise High Resolution data acquisition at fast sample rates With up to 4 GS/s sampling offered by ATS9373, you can future-proof your OCT system for tomorrow's sources
  • Fast 6.8 GB/s data transfer rate for raw (time domain) data or FFT data There are OTHER companies claiming to offer OCT solutions, but their data transfer rate to computer memory is only a few hundred Megabytes per second, putting a ceiling on how many frames per second they can capture
  • Support for variable frequency external clock to allow the use of the swept source's k-clock to solve the re-linearization problem This feature is unique to AlazarTech due to our unique A/D technology. Commercially available A/D technology requires fixed frequency sampling and, therefore, cannot use k-clock signals from swept sources. A DSP-based resampling scheme must be used to linearize the data in k-space. Our k-clock based solution directly generates data linear in k-space
  • Unique OCT Ignore Bad Clock feature that allows use of out-of-specification k-clocks k-clock from many swept sources provide either no signal in between scans or a "dummy clock" of very slow frequency. In some cases, the "dummy clock" can also contain glitches. AlazarTech's OCT Ignore Bad Clock technology allows the user to tell the A/D circuitry to ignore the k-clock signal during a certain time duration after each trigger
  • Complete on-FPGA FFT solution that includes: •   User programmable dispersion compensation function
    •   User programmable windowing
    •   Log calculation
    •   FFT magnitude output in floating point or integer format
  • Special "Raw + FFT" mode that allows users to acquire both time domain and FFT data This can be very useful during the validation process
  • Embedded data footers that include timestamp, frame count and many other useful information for each record
