Optores GmbH is a pioneer in ultrafast swept lasers and optical coherence tomography. With sweep rates of several million OCT A-scans per second, Optores’ founders coined the term “MHz-OCT”. These ultrahigh speeds are ideal for novel OCT applications, such as real-time surgical guidance with 4D-OCT, large-area surveys, visualization of blood flow, and high-throughput industrial inspection.
Optores GmbH offers swept lasers at popular wavelengths for OCT with high output powers, centimeter coherence lengths, and sweep rates of up to 3 MHz. The company has a strong focus on research and development to offer a broader range of lasers with improved performance and customizable OCT-Systems for any application.
