Swept laser based on the acousto-optic deflector (AOD) is a promising swept source in optical coherence tomography (OCT) applications for its high wavenumber linear sweep without mechanical motion. However, the poor coherence length and the elongated cavity of the laser imposed limitations on the acquisition of high-quality images with adequate imaging depth and high imaging speed. In this Letter, we demonstrate a compact high-speed wavenumber linear swept laser based on AOD using Doppler shift compensation, achieving a high linearity of Pearson's R of 0.999991, a duty cycle of ∼100%, an extended coherence length of 5.7 mm, an output power of 18 mW, and excellent phase stability at a sweep speed of 500 kHz. OCT structural images with a system sensitivity of 103.2 dB and OCT angiography (OCTA) of human palm in vivo have been successfully performed, serving as a compelling demonstration of the excellent performance of this swept laser. We believe that the proposed laser will be of high potential in various clinical and industrial applications in the future.
