We tested the SuperLight Photonics’ laser light sources against conventional ASE sources using identical OCT system configurations. 

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀:

📊 10x better spectral resolution, below 3um in the SWIR wavelength range 

📊 Potential to reveal structural information not detectable with SLED

Traditional SC sources use meters of non-linear optical fiber, resulting in accumulated spectral noise, challenge to stabilize temperature, bulky systems.

LIGENTEC's AN800 platform replaces meters of fiber with a millimeter-scale chip:

• 800 nm waveguides → dispersion for stable SC generation

• Ultra-low propagation losses → maximum optical efficiency

• >90% mode confinement →strong nonlinear interactions

• 400-4000 nm transparency → extended SWIR capability

• High damage threshold → reliable operation

The result?
