Abstract:
A novel technique for lateral resolution improvement in optical coherence tomography (OCT) is presented. The proposed method is based on lateral oversampling of the image. The locations and weights of multiple high spatial resolution sub-volumes are calculated using a Capon estimator assuming each contributes a weighted portion to the detected signal. This technique is independent of the delivery optics and the depth of field. Experimental results demonstrate that it is possible to achieve ~4x lateral resolution improvement which can be diagnostically valuable, especially in cases where the delivery optics are constrained to low numerical aperture (NA).
