  ABSTRACT: We demonstrate a high-speed swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) system, which is based on a high-speed swept light source and a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with a high-speed photodetector. The light source is an external-cavity laser tuned by a KTN electro-optic deflector, which exhibits a very fast response and large deflection. The scanning wavelength range is almost 80 nm up to 200 kHz with a ±400-V deflector driving voltage. The system acquires 1 mm × 1 mm images consisting of 200 × 200 pixels within few milliseconds. We present preliminary SS-OCT images of an in-vitro human nail and an in-vivo finger pad.
