coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of the human retina is demonstrated. Achievable
performance, physical limitations, design rules, and scaling principles for FDML operation
and component choice in this wavelength range are discussed. The fiber-based FDML laser
operates at a sweep rate of 236 kHz over a 63 nm tuning range, with 7 mW average output
power. Ultra-high-speed retinal imaging is demonstrated at 236,000 axial scans per second …
