Millimeter-Scale Chip-Based Supercontinuum Generation for Optical Coherence Tomography

We demonstrate a supercontinuum light source for OCT imaging in a compact 1 mm(2) Si3N4 chip. We achieve 105 dB sensitivity and a 6-dB sensitivity roll-off at 1.81 mm with only 300 mu W incident power. (c) 2021 The Author(s)
