Abstract
An OCT system for generating images of an anterior or posterior segment of an eye is described. The system includes a light source, a controller, optics, a detector, and a processor. The light source generates a beam of light and is capable of operating in a posterior or an anterior segment imaging mode. In the posterior segment imaging mode, light source outputs light with a first spectral bandwidth of less than 120 nm and including wavelengths between about 1060 to 1070 nm. In the anterior segment imaging mode the light source outputs light with a second spectral bandwidth that is larger than 120 nm. The controller enables switching between the posterior or anterior segment imaging mode.
