Dispersion in a grating-based optical delay line for optical coherence tomography

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging technology based on low-coherence interferometry. When OCT imaging is performed in biological tissue, dispersion almost inevitably occurs. We quantify the group-velocity dispersion that a grating-based optical delay line may induce and its contribution to the axial point-spread function of OCT. Among the practical reasons for modeling the dispersion in grating-based optical delay line is that, at maximum compensation, it can provide insight into the dispersive properties of tissues.
