Swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) combines narrow-linewidth, wavelength-tunable lasers with interferometric detection to achieve high-resolution, depth-resolved imaging in scattering media. This presentation focuses on the implementation of thermally and MEMS-tuned VCSEL sources in compact OCT systems, and their potential to enable next-generation medical diagnostics.
