We improved inverse scattering for optical coherence tomography (OCT) and interferometric microscopy. This allows for 3D volume reconstruction with consistent resolution, even outside the focal plane.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Biomedical Imaging
  • Computational Science

Background:

  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and optical coherence microscopy are vital interferometric microscopy techniques.
  • Current methods face limitations with high numerical aperture (NA) focusing optics.
  • Accurate 3D reconstruction requires addressing tight focusing effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To extend inverse scattering algorithms for OCT to high NA systems.
  • To incorporate the impact of tight focusing in interferometric microscopy.
  • To enable 3D volume reconstruction from en face temporal ranging data.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an extended inverse scattering approach.
  • Included theoretical treatment of tight focusing effects.
