    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Biomedical Imaging

    Background:

    • Conventional optical frequency comb techniques are complex and can introduce dispersion.
    • Existing optical coherence depth sensing methods may involve mechanical components, limiting speed and reliability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and demonstrate a novel spatial frequency comb technique for dispersion-free optical coherence depth sensing.
    • To offer an alternative to traditional optical frequency comb methods, enhancing depth sensing capabilities.

    Main Methods:

    • Generation of a spatial frequency comb by modulating the incident angle of a monochromatic plane wave using a spatial light modulator (SLM).
    • Utilizing monochromatic light and SLM to avoid the generation of an optical frequency comb over a wide time spectrum.
    • Implementing a dispersion-free depth sensing approach without mechanical moving parts.
