PURPOSE To use swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) to image the posterior sclera at the posterior pole and around the optic nerve head (ONH) and measure the subfoveal scleral thickness and laminar thickness to evaluate the relationship between the measured thicknesses and ocular parameters. DESIGN Prospective, cross-sectional design. METHODS The study included 103 patients with ...

In this Letter, a swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) instrument employing an innovative scanning protocol for high-speed volumetric rate imaging is demonstrated. The source tunable laser based on supercontinuum pumped with femtosecond pulses, followed by time-stretched delay fiber. equipped ultra-fast lateral scanner, KTN crystal, driven at 100 kHz. letter proves the utility of ...

This paper concerns a wavelength-swept fiber laser (WSFL) incorporating frequency shifted feedback and an intracavity passband filter, in which the wavelength of the modeless output is linearly, continuously and repeatedly tuned (in time) over a given range by modulation of the filter peak wavelength and filter strength. We show both numerically and experimentally that amplifier noise plays a k...

It is well known that wind power generation addresses the energy needs of small and remote populations as one alternatives to petroleum-based energy’s greenhouse effect. Although there are several publications on rotor design performance analysis, more should be written about starting turbines, mainly ones, where can a big issue. The present paper evaluates impact swept blade angle aerodynamic ...
