Line-Scan Swept-Source OCT Systems
Miniaturized, massively Parallel high-performance OCT imaging.
Line-Scan OCT Architecture
At the core of every KineoLabs' OCT system is the proprietary wavelength-sweeping laser engine. KineoLabs' line-scan OCT architecture is unique in the marketplace since it acquires data line-by-line rather than point-by-point. This has major advantages:
-
Massively parallel (2k or more points in one line) acquisition
-
Much more affordable than conventional point scanning systems due to parallel data acquisition electronics
-
State-of-the-art image fidelity and optical efficiency
-
Small system footprint in a portable form factor
-
Simplicity in design with small number of components leading to low manufacturing complexity and increased ruggedness
-
Free-space optical design - no fibers and external light sources needed!
The platform supports both ophthalmic and industrial imaging use cases. It can be configured for line-field or full-field (3-D) architectures, depending on application needs.

OPTHALMIC LINE-SCAN OCT APPLICATIONS
Retinal OCT
KineoLabs OCT systems are ultra-compact for portable use or mounting on the slit lamp in the exam or workup room of ophthalmic offices eliminating the need for a dedicated imaging room. This unlocks new practice workflows that improve efficiency, reduce patient movement and comfort, and increase daily patient throughput. The small size and performance also make it ideal for integration into equipment for surgical procedures.
​No Compromise Clinical-Grade Performance
Our swept-source OCT system enables:
-
High axial resolution (~5–10 µm)
-
Deep penetration for posterior and anterior imaging
-
Effective A-line rates of 250 kHz or higher
-
Robust performance even in small, embedded platforms
-
Clinical study competitive results available
Anterior Segment Imaging
Modular optical configurations allow adaptation for:
-
Angle visualization
-
Corneal and limbal imaging
-
Pre- and post-operative assessments
