Abstract
We present a sparse-sampled camera for compressed sensing spectral domain optical coherence tomography (CS SD-OCT), which is mainly composed of a novel mask with specially designed coating and a commercially available CCD camera. The sparse-sampled camera under-samples the SD-OCT spectrum in hardware, thus reduces the acquired image data and can achieve faster A-scan speed than conventional CCD camera with the same pixel number. Compared with a conventional SD-OCT system, the CS SD-OCT system equipped with the sparse-sampled camera has better fall-off and SNR performance. CS-OCT imaging of bio-tissue is also demonstrated.
