    We introduce phase-dispersion optical tomography, a novel imaging method using phase measurements. This technique reveals hidden sample variations by detecting subtle phase shifts, complementing existing optical coherence tomography methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Optics
    • Optical Imaging
    • Interferometry

    Background:

    • Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides structural information based on electric field amplitude.
    • Dispersive variations within samples often remain undetected by amplitude-based imaging techniques.
    • Advanced optical methods are needed to probe subtle optical properties of biological tissues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and validate phase-dispersion optical tomography (PDOT) as a novel imaging modality.
    • To demonstrate PDOT's capability in detecting otherwise invisible dispersive variations in samples.
    • To highlight PDOT's potential as a complementary technique to conventional OCT.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing low-coherence interferometry for precise phase measurements.

  • Simultaneously probing samples with fundamental and second-harmonic light.
  • Interferometrically measuring the relative phase shift of backscattered light fields.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved high phase sensitivity of approximately 5 degrees.
    • Demonstrated detection of phase changes due to both interface reflection and bulk refraction.
    • Showcased the ability of PDOT to reveal dispersive variations missed by amplitude-based methods.

    Conclusions:

    • Phase-dispersion optical tomography is a sensitive imaging technique.
    • PDOT offers complementary information to OCT by measuring phase shifts.
    • This technique enhances the characterization of sample microstructures and optical properties.
