Optical coherence tomographic data acquisition camera and hardware

[kamalm2]

Hi  I am building a Optical Coherence tomography (OCT) system for biomedical imaging, which based on Michelson interferometric principle. We want continuous sample scanning. I already have a MEMS mirror with LabVIEW interface for scanning, which is operating only at resonance frequency. Resonance frequency of the mirror in 534 Hz (optical beam modulation frequency on the sample is 2X534 Hz). I want to scan 2mm sample with a spot size of 20 micron therefore I have to capture 150 spot (with 50% overlap) on the sample. 1. Which data acquisition hardware would be suitable for data acquisition this types of scanning frequency (/speed)2. What types of camera needed for that.  Any advice is welcome. Thanks

What is the wavelength of your source?

[kamalm2]

wavelength would be 980nm and bandwidth 200nm ( broadband laser)

thanks

I'm working at 1300 nm, but the camera I am using theoretically goes down to 800 nm.

Are you working with any NI hardware for that camera?

Are you using that OCT imaging?

What king of scanner you are using with that...

thanks

We are using a two mirror system to scan our light source.  We are using an PCIe-1427 to acquire the images from the camera.  I am also using a couple DAQ cards to provide line and frame triggers (two counter/timers for the trigger signals and two AO signals to drive the mirrors).
