We present here an open-source platform capable of simulating Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images to be used by the community. Such a simulator can have a variety of applications such as the training of neural networks. Our first-generation Monte Carlo simulator quantifies detected photons path length. The code achieves reasonable runtime by exploiting a bias scattering scheme. The results are then interpreted to produce an OCT A-line. A Github platform was implemented with necessary documentation (e.g. readme file and instructions guide) to allow a variety of application and geometry as well as community-based improvements over time.
