Abstract
Theoretical and experimental signal to noise analysis of the ultrahigh speed frequency-domain OCT systems achieving more than 100,000 A-scans/second measurement rate is presented for both swept source and spectral domain instruments. We discuss an impact of noise sources and technological limitations of swept source OCT and spectral OCT and estimate the optimal conditions of operation for ultrahigh speed OCT imaging.
