Thorlabs’ INT-COM-1300 interferometer is designed to be used inside a swept source OCT system for common-path OCT applications. It integrates a fiber coupler network for use with an external common-path interferometer probe. These couplers are optimized for flat wavelength response and very low polarization dependent coupling losses. The integrated high-gain balanced detector includes an active aliasing filter that minimizes the generation of aliasing frequencies in the digitized fringe signals for improved image quality.

The module is designed for ease of use, and easy integration using the FC/APC angled fiber adapters. Alignment is made easier due to an additional input for a 660 nm aiming laser and a specially designed WDM coupler that combines the swept laser source (1300 nm) and the alignment laser (660 nm).
