Abstract
Purpose: :
In order to improve the quality of retinal image,
Methods: :
an adaptive optics (AO) system with a liquid crystal (LC) spatial light modulator (SLM) and its application on the spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is described. The AO system uses LC SLM as the corrector to compensate large ocular aberrations of the subject’s eye, and was combined with the retinal imaging OCT.
Results: :
Based on this system, a clear retinal image with high lateral resolution was obtained.
Conclusions: :
The result suggests that LC SLM can effectively correct the wavefront error of eye, and the LC based AO has potentially application on the OCT system for retinal imaging.
