Fourier-domain full-field optical coherence tomography (FD-FF-OCT) is an emerging tool for high-speed eye imaging. However, cross-talk formation in images limits the imaging depth. To this end, we have recently shown that reducing spatial coherence with a fast deformable membrane can suppress the noise but over a limited axial range and with substantial data processing. Here, we demonstrate that a multimode fiber with carefully chosen parameters enables cross-talk-free imaging over a long axial range and without significant artifacts. We also show that it can be used to image the human retina and choroid in vivo with exceptional contrast.
