Measurement and Compensation for the Amplitude and Phase Spectral Distortions of an Interference Signal in Optical Coherence Tomography for the Relative Optical-Spectrum Width Exceeding 10%

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

We describe a universal method of compensating for the arbitrary dispersion in the spectral and time domain optical coherence tomography systems. In combination with the amplitude method of correcting the optical-spectrum irregularities, this approach allows one to obtain the spectrally determined resolution if the instrument function is close to the Gaussian one. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated in the time and spectral domain optical coherence tomographies with the fully fiber-type optical systems for the relative optical-spectrum width exceeding 10%.
