title: Non-moving scanner design for OCT systems.
abstract: In this work, a novel beam scanner design based on non-moving parts is introduced which will eliminate the phase and inaccuracy problems of the mechanical scanners while providing two times imaging speed improvement for optical coherence tomography systems. The design is comprised of electro-optically activated switches that are placed on the sample arm. For the example considered here, lateral resolution of 20 µm, and lateral scanning range of 1 mm are aimed at which resulted in a scanner size of 1 mm × 9 mm. Due to its compact size, proposed design can also be implemented in forward-looking endoscopic probes.
