Thorlabs Ltd. Polarization-Sensitive Spectral Domain OCT Telesto Series Imaging System TEL220PSC2 - 1300nm
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) - Polarization-Sensitive, 1300 centre wavelength
The Thorlabs’ Telesto® Series PS-OCT and Ganymede™ Series SD-OCT are instruments that allow for the ultra-fast and non-destructive acquisition of detailed, cross-sectional images of materials or biological tissues. The instruments operate similarly to ultrasound with the use of light waves instead of sound. The Telesto® PS-OCT can provide additional information about structural properties by analysing how light interacts with a sample’s polarisation.

Detailed Description
This system provides the flexibility required for long-range and high-resolution imaging applications.
The systems use an incident beam of known polarization and a dual-detector design to incorporate polarization information in 2D cross-sectional and 3D volumetric images of a sample.
Uses/Applications
Biomedical Research: Tissue imaging, collagen analysis, vascular studies, and monitoring biological processes.
Material Science: Subsurface defect detection, structural analysis, and quality control.
Industrial Inspection: Non-destructive testing of layered structures and product integrity verification
