Complex-conjugate-resolved imaging using two-harmonic FD-OCT
نویسندگان
چکیده
The two-harmonic FD-OCT method, where the quadrature components of the spectral interferogram are obtained by simultaneous acquisition of the first and second harmonics of the phase-modulated interferogram, is used for complexconjugate-resolved imaging of biological samples. The method is implemented using sampling of the phase modulated interferogram with an integrating detector array followed by digital demodulation at the first and second harmonics. A complex conjugate rejection ratio as high as 70 dB is achieved.

Simultaneous acquisition of the real and imaginary components in Fourier domain optical coherence tomography using harmonic detection
Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) is an interferometric imaging technique that allows imaging to depths of a few mm in scattering biological tissues with high resolution of the order of 1-10 μm. However, the usefulness of FD-OCT is limited by background and autocorrelation interference terms that reduce the sensitivity and by phase ambiguity that halves the useful imaging dep...

Most of full-range techniques for Frequency Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (FD-OCT) reported to date utilize the phase relation between consecutive axial lines to reconstruct a complex interference signal and hence may exhibit degradation in either mirror image suppression performance or detectable velocity dynamic range or both when monitoring a moving sample such as flow activity. We hav...

Swept-source optical coherence tomography (SSOCT) provides a substantial sensitivity advantage over its time-domain counterpart, but suffers from a reduced imaging depth range due to sensitivity falloff and complex conjugate ambiguity. Heterodyne complex conjugate-resolved SSOCT (HCCR-SSOCT) has been previously demonstrated as a technique to completely resolve the complex conjugate ambiguity, e...
