Ophthalmic optical coherence tomography (OCT) scanners must comply with GB 9706.1, YY 0505 (domestic), and IEC 60601-1-2 (international) EMC standards. Their core is a low-coherence interferometry system, comprising an ultrafast scanning light source (e.g., the swept-frequency laser in SS-OCT), a high-speed photodetector, and a precision optical scanning galvanometer. These components are highly sensitive to electromagnetic interference. Standards require that the scanned images be artifact-free when the equipment is operating near nearby radio frequency equipment (e.g., Wi-Fi). The laser's drive power supply must have extremely low noise, and the photodetector's analog front-end must have an extremely high signal-to-noise ratio. In the design, the scanning galvanometer's drive signal lines should use shielded cables, and the detector output should be analog filtered and equipped with low-noise operational amplifiers.
