Abstract
An apparatus for optical swept-source coherence tomography comprises a spectrally tuneable source for emitting coherent light, and a detector for acquiring the intensity of remitted light backscattered from an object irradiated with the coherent light of the source. Further, the apparatus comprises a control device, which is set up to control the light source and the detector in such a way that the detector performs intensity acquisitions in accordance with a defined number of measurements, while the light source is tuned, the control device further being set up, for the purpose of altering the measurement depth or/and the axial resolution of the tomography, to alter the defined number of measurements or/and a spectral measurement bandwidth, within which the detector performs the intensity acquisitions.
