We developed a novel optical coherence tomography (OCT) technique to enhance spatial resolution using dispersive materials and a retrieval algorithm, overcoming limitations of non-Gaussian light sources.

Area of Science:

  • Optics
  • Biomedical Imaging
  • Metrology

Background:

  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a key imaging modality.
  • Improving OCT spatial resolution is crucial for detailed visualization.
  • Non-Gaussian light source spectra present challenges for OCT resolution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel technique for enhancing OCT spatial resolution.
  • To address the limitations imposed by non-Gaussian light source spectra in OCT.
  • To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method through simulations and experimental data.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing dispersive materials in the reference arm of the OCT system.
  • Introducing dispersion variation to modify the interference fringe envelope.
