In the past decade we have observed a rapid development of ultrahigh-speed optical coherence tomography (OCT) instruments, which currently enables performing cross-sectional in vivo imaging of biological samples with speeds of more than 100,000 A-scans/s. This progress in OCT technology has been achieved by the development of Fourier-domain detection techniques. Introduction of high-speed imaging capabilities lifts the primary limitation of early OCT technology by giving access to in vivo three-dimensional volumetric reconstructions on large scales within reasonable time constraints. As result, novel tools can be created that add new perspective for existing OCT applications and open new fields of research in biomedical imaging. In this seminar I would like to present the progress of high-speed OCT instruments, their impact on imaging applications and new perspectives on functional imaging with the use of state-of-the-art high-speed OCT technology.
