Abstract
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) system and apparatus of this instant application is very useful for diagnosis and management of 3ophthalmic diseases such as retinal diseases and glaucoma etc. Instant innovative OCT diagnostic system leverages advancements in cross technological platforms. The Michelson interferometric system presented in this application could be used for the OCT imaging, which includes biological OCT imaging, medical OCT imaging, ophthalmic OCT imaging, corneal OCT imaging, retinal OCT imaging, and the like. A tunable filter is placed in front of the detector to make the interferometer more sensitive and accurate for examining various samples for diagnosis.
