Abstract
Point-scanning OCT systems often use a pair of sequential, single-axis galvanometer scanners to acquire volumetric data. This can introduce uncertainty in the beam position at the ocular pupil plane, an effect known as beam wander or pupil wobble, which can distort the resulting images. We propose a new approach to characterize and optically correct the pupil wobble with an additional scanning mirror placed anti-conjugate to the pupil plane. We evaluate this method by modeling the pattern of pupil wobble present in a research OCT system both theoretically and experimentally, and correcting for it with the proposed method.
