Abstract:
A novel optical coherence tomography system that can perform scanless two dimensional imaging without Fourier transform is proposed and demonstrated. In the system, a convex cylindrical mirror generates an extended spatial distribution of optical delay in the reference arm and a cylindrical lens is used to form a focused line beam in the sample arm. A charge-coupled device camera captures the two dimensional tomographic image of a sample in a snap-shot manner. Due to its simple configuration and operation, the system is suitable for developing a compact device for tomographic imaging and measurement.
