OCTLIGHT’s products are applicable in many types of applications. With our Caliper-HERO or Caliper-FLEX laser modules in your OCT scanners, 3D OCT images of the eye can be obtained making medical diagnostics easier and more secure.

Come by our booth to talk about our VCSEL Swept Source products Caliper-HERO and Caliper-FLEX and hear about how they can bring White Light Interferometry (WLI) to new heights by increasing imaging speed and range using coherent detection. Caliper-HERO and Caliper-FLEX can be used for respectively ultra-fast imaging and long imaging range which benefits within multiple application areas such as medical, ophthalmology, industrial, metrology, and LiDAR.

Since 2014 we have worked with more than 20 leading innovator at corporates looking to advance the state-of-the-art.

The technology has been demonstrated in publications by

Kent University – Downconversion Master Slave OCT With a Bidirectional Sweeping Laser

Photonics Europe 2024

,

OCTLIGHT plan attending Photonics Europe 2024 and we welcome current and new customer to come and talk to us about our VCSEL Swept Source product and MEMS VCSEL technology which enable ultra-fast imaging for Medical Applications, Industrial Applications and Lidar.

Recently our flagship product Caliper-HERO has been featured in several applications such as volumetric imaging of the human retina:

During 2023 we have made progress in showing reliable 100 mm’s of imaging for industrial applications with the Caliper-FLEX technology. This enables quality assurance with micrometer resolution of large objects at high speeds. This is fundamentally enabled by the long dynamics coherence length of the wavelength sweeping laser technology.

Plan now to visit us at SPIE Photonics Europe, 9 April–10 April 2024 at Palais de la musique et des congrès in Strasbourg, France.

We’d love to talk to you about your innovative ideas and research and how we can together advance the field.

800 kHz A-scan rate OCT demonstration in-vivo with OCTLIGHT VCSEL Swept Source

As part of the EU NETLAS project with partner, Applied Optics Group (University of Kent), DTU (the Technical University of Denmark), the OCTLIGHT VCSEL Swept Source was used to demonstrate real-time volumetric in-vivo OCT imaging of the human retina. This marks the first publication of in-vivo retina imaging using our SS-OCT. The AOG and DTU groups were able to acquire fast en-face images using our compact OCT system with an A-scan rate of 800 kHz which due to the sweeping period corresponds to sweeping at 1.6 MHz.

This paper was presented at Photonics West 2023 and you can watch the 10 min conference presentation and read about their findings here: Novel 1.6 MHz swept source for real-time volumetric in-vivo OCT imaging of the human retina.

The image shows OCT images acquired in real-time. a) B-scan OCT image of the retina. b) Confocal image centred on the optic nerve. c) En-face images recorded in sequence at 2 Hz where the image depth was varied. d) En-face 3D volume with depth-colour encoded projection.

SPIE Photonics West Exhibition 31 January-2 February 2023

InTherSteLa project addressing spinal surgery funded

Spinal stenosis is an age-related disease where progressive narrowing of the spinal canal can result in neck and back pain. About 5 of every 1000 persons older than 50 years have symptoms, and one of the treatment options is a demanding surgery.

OCTLIGHT is involved in a new project as one of the companies on the Project Accompanying Committee. The project “Innovative Therapy of Spinal Stenosis by Laser Ablation under OCT Control” (InTherSteLa) is approved and funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and received 249,832 EUR in funding. The Laser Zentrum Hannover e. V. leads the project, which will take place from 01.09.2022 to 28.02.2025.

This exciting project aims to develop a flexible handpiece that enables high-precision bone removal without endangering deeper tissue layers. The project will combine two techniques to obtain this: bone ablation by a medical laser in live foresight using OCT.

High-speed OCT imaging is required to provide a live preview, and OCTLIGHT Caliper-HERO technology is a viable technology to commercialize this into practice.

OCTLIGHT receives Seal of Excellence for EIC Accelerator project proposal

OCTLIGHT is honoured to have been awarded the Seal of Excellence by the EIC Jury for its EIC Accelerator project proposal on the commercialization of its VCSEL technology to meet the demands for improved eye health diagnostics. The project aims to bring cost-efficient 3D imaging with clinically required axial resolution and a wide field of view into broad market adoption to benefit billions of people with visual impairment. The project would support the final development, upscaling and demonstration with partners to bring this disruptive technology into the hands of eye care professionals.

The Seal of Excellence is a quality label awarded to project proposals submitted by start-ups and SMEs under Horizon Europe that has undergone review by business domain experts. It provides access to EIC Business Acceleration Services, which facilitate funding from other sources. In addition, when a project has been awarded the Seal of Excellence, the evaluation summary report, the proposal and the Certificate itself are fraud-proofed as they are digitally protected.

The Seal of Excellence is a recommendation for the proposal, which did not receive funding due to budget constraints, to receive funding from other sources.
