Researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University have developed a compact 0.36-mm² photonic chip enabling high-precision three-dimensional swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for industrial inspection, including contactless measurement within confined spaces using a ball-lens fiber probe.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Photonics & Optics.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You now have a compact, industrial-grade OCT module that fits restricted spaces and cuts complexity by integrating optics on chip. This opens up inspection opportunities where contact or bulky systems blocked you before.
