Dispersion Compensation in Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dispersion in spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) system cause a degradation of point spread function (peak broadening) after FFT of the spectrum with the increase of the optical path distance between an object and reference arm. Different sources of dispersion and methods for the compensation are shown.

Dispersion compensation in Fourier domain optical coherence tomography using the fractional Fourier transform.
We address numerical dispersion compensation based on the use of the fractional Fourier transform (FrFT). The FrFT provides a new fundamental perspective on the nature and role of group-velocity dispersion in Fourier domain OCT. The dispersion induced by a 26 mm long water cell was compensated for a spectral bandwidth of 110 nm, allowing the theoretical axial resolution in air of 3.6 μm to be r...
متن کاملRetinal Ganglion Cell Complex in Alzheimer Disease: Comparing Ganglion Cell Complex and Central Macular Thickness in Alzheimer Disease and Healthy Subjects Using Spectral Domain-Optical Coherence Tomography
Introduction: Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia worldwide. The modalities to diagnose AD are generally expensive and limited. Both the central nervous system (CNS) and the retina are derived from the cranial neural crest; therefore, changes in retinal layers may reflect changes in the CNS tissue. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) machine can show delicate retinal layer...

Background: optical coherence tomography is one of the most valuable imaging techniques in the evaluation of macula. Objective: to investigate the repeatability and reproducibility of OCT in measuring the macular thickness in normal eyes before and after pupil dilation. Methods: A total of 44 eyes were enrolled. All subjects underwent macular thickness measurement using the Cirrus SD-OCT ma...
متن کاملCoherence length extension of Fourier domain mode locked lasers
Fourier domain mode locked (FDML) lasers provide high sweep rates, broad tuning ranges, and high output powers for optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems. However, presently-known FDML lasers at 1300 nm have relatively short coherence lengths, limiting the size of samples that can be imaged. Furthermore, FDML lasers produce only one useable sweep direction. We report FDML coherence length e...
متن کاملInherent homogenous media dispersion compensation in frequency domain optical coherence tomography by accurate k-sampling.
Depth dependent broadening of the axial point spread function due to dispersion in the imaged media, and algorithms for postprocess correction, have been previously described for both time domain and frequency domain optical coherence tomography. We show that homogeneous media dispersion artifacts disappear when frequency domain samples are acquired with uniform spacing in circular wavenumber, ...
