Launched in 2017, the Cobra-S 800 is our original and most popular high-speed spectrometer for near infrared OCT laboratory research. It is used in research applications in ophthalmology and materials processing as well as more specialized techniques like polarization-sensitive OCT (PS-OCT) and optical coherence elastography (OCE).
Widely cited in literature, we continuously marvel how this enabling technology is helping academics push the boundaries of OCT research.

The Cobra-S 800 offers superior roll-off performance as compared to traditional OCT spectrometers, as can be seen in this comparison of signal with imaging depth. With less roll-off, much deeper structures can be imaged clearly than is expected of typical 800 nm imaging.
Compatible with Wasatch Photonics’ SDKs for rapid data access and control in development environments (e.g., C++, LabVIEW, MATLAB).
