Cobra-D 800

Deeper imaging for industrial and medical applications

  • Imaging depths up to 15.5 mm in air at 840 nm with exceptional roll-off performance
  • Proprietary ultra-high-resolution optical design with patent-protected VPH gratings
  • Greater detection sensitivity using cost-effective CCD cameras rather than InGaAs cameras
  • Industrial-grade mechanical and thermal stability
  • Scan rates up to 250 kHz with Camera Link, or 20–130 kHz with USB 3.0 for easier system integration
  • Compact for integration into critical systems

Available in 15.5 mm, 12.5 mm, 9.0 mm, 6.3 mm, and 4.5 mm imaging-depth models, the Cobra-D 800 leverages proprietary optical design built around our IP-protected HD gratings to provide industry-leading imaging depth capabilities.

OCT imaging traditionally required the use of SWIR wavelengths to probe depths greater than a few millimeters in a single scan, bringing with it the higher cost associated with NIR InGaAs detectors. That’s why we have developed this optical spectrometer, which allows us to achieve imaging depths of up to 15.5 mm using 800 nm OCT, opening new possibilities for cost-effective measurement of features over a wider range of depths.

    Material processing applications Surface morphology provides valuable information as materials are deposited, machined, or modified. Both the resolution and the depth range of information of the imaging system used are important, as they determine what answers can be extracted. The ability to image deeper also facilitates wide-field imaging, as the full profile and structure of curved or irregular surfaces can be captured in a single scan. This is especially important in laser machining and welding, where a particular cut or hole may run deep, and for profiling complex surfaces in additive manufacturing.

    Ophthalmology Long-range imaging is beneficial for examination of the full anterior chamber, from cornea to crystalline lens, as it permits a more complete image of the eye to be acquired in less time for assessment of eye health. It can even be used to image the whole eye if configured appropriately. It also facilitates wide-field imaging of the retina, the curvature of which requires a greater range of imaging depth, particularly in clinical settings where the patient is unlikely to remain static.

    Medicine Long-range OCT can be of great benefit for lumen imaging in intravascular and gastrointestinal applications. In such scenarios the structures of interest may be more than a few millimeters from the imaging catheter and therefore fall outside the typical OCT imaging window. A long imaging depth can account for such variability in distance between the imaging probe and area of interest, facilitating better imaging outcomes.

Compatible with Wasatch Photonics’ SDKs for rapid data access in development environments (e.g., C++, LabVIEW, MATLAB).
