Optical coherence tomography apparatus and image generation method using the same
Abstract:
An optical coherence tomography (OCT) apparatus includes a light source unit to generate light, a coupler unit to generate coupled light using reference light and measurement light generated by splitting the light, split the coupled light into n coupled and split lights and irradiate the n coupled and split lights, wherein n is a natural number greater than or equal to 2, a detection unit to irradiate the incident n coupled and split lights to n spectroscopes respectively and sequentially scan each light separated from each of the spectroscopes by wavelength range, and an image generation unit to generate a 2-dimensional single image using a result of the scanning by the detection unit. Accordingly, it is possible to improve the OCT image acquisition rate by distributing the scan time for a plurality of split lights using a plurality of array detectors.
