Existing Oct CCD cameras are not built for the new uses that they are being championed for. The medical field in particular wants to use them to improve aspects of patient care such as functional imaging or large field of view imaging; but due to the slow fast A-scan rates of the cameras, they aren’t up to the job.

Teledyne e2v Proprietary Sensor Technology
Teledyne e2v has been developing and manufacturing OCT CCD cameras for the last decade, supporting the transition from Time-Domain OCT to Spectral Domain OCT. They have now come up with OctoPlus, a solution to future generations of OCT that provides a dedicated camera platform using CMOS technology that speeds up image acquisition while also improving image quality.
