Abstract

Young and/or autistic children cannot be imaged with tabletop or handheld optical coherence tomography (OCT) because of their lack of attention and fear of large objects close to their face. We demonstrate a prototype retinal swept-source OCT system with a long working distance (from the last optical element to the subject’s eye) to facilitate pediatric imaging. To reduce the number of optical elements and axial length compared to the traditional $4f$ telescope, we employ a compact $2f$ retinal scanning configuration and achieve a working distance of 350 mm with a 16° OCT field of view. We test our prototype system on pediatric and adult subjects.
