AB  - We present pulsed illumination spectral-domain optical coherence tomography 
      (SD-OCT) for in vivo human retinal imaging. We analyze the signal-to-noise (SNR) 
      for continuous wave (CW) and pulsed illumination SD-OCT. The lateral beam scan 
      motion is responsible for a SNR drop due to lateral scanning induced interference 
      fringe washout. Pulsed illumination can reduce the SNR drop by shorter sample 
      illumination time during the integration time of a camera. First, we demonstrate 
      the SNR benefit of pulsed illumination over CW as function of lateral scan speed 
      for a paper sample. Finally, we show better SNR in retinal images of a normal 
      subject with pulsed illumination SD-OCT over CW at high lateral scanning speed.
