Abstract:
The device provides an optical coherence tomography system; a first bank of light emitting diodes emitting light centered about a first wavelength; a second bank of light emitting diodes, emitting light centered about a second wavelength; a prism, said prism including a first surface transmissive of the wavelength of the probe beam of the optical coherence tomography system, and a second surface which is also transmissive of the wavelength of the probe beam, and where the second is surface coated from a first edge to a midpoint so to be reflective of light at the first wavelength and transmissive of light at the second wavelength, and from the midpoint to a second edge transmissive of light at the first wavelength and reflective of light at the second wavelength; and one or more detector arrays. Alternate embodiments are taught.
