腔體長度為 20.4 cm，782-nm 雷射輸出為少數階模態，線寬(FWHM)為 0.071 nm，
背向(輸入端)消光比為 11.55，背向與正向輸出的斜線效率分別為 1.36%和 4.92%，
雷射閥值為 421 mW，以 MATLAB 程式搭配雷射理論模型同時模擬正背向雷射表 現，得出光柵第一階繞射效率為 67%、第零階(正向輸出方向)效率為 12.4%。在 1525 mW 幫浦功率下，波長連續可調範圍為 719.56~910.42 nm，3-dB 頻寬為 72.9 nm。
本實驗室所使用的 KTN 晶體其光偏折能力為 0.5118 mrad/volt (0.029°/volt)，
不同掃描頻率與雷射腔體架構有不同的適合的 DC 電壓值，適合 DC 電壓值約落於
然可達 161.2 nm 的可調頻寬。 為緩慢的 KTN-based 掃頻式摻鈦藍寶石晶體光纖雷射，使用 Fabry-Perot tunable filter 及延遲光纖(delay fiber)之環形雷射架構的頻域鎖模雷射(Fourier domain mode-locked laser)亦可作為 SS-OCT 之可調光源，該結構的掃頻頻率由環形共振腔 的單趟時間之倒數所決定，相對於傳統的掃描技術來說，該技術在每次調制波長 時，其雷射輸出不需每次由自發輻射而建立(built up)，大大提升了掃描速度，而對 於相當寬頻的摻鈦藍寶石晶體相當適合使用於鎖模雷射技術。
