    Min Yong Jeon, Jun Zhang, Zhongping Chen. We present characteristics of a wavelength swept laser with a scanning fiber Fabry-Perot filter at 1300 nm. We investigate the dependence of the scanning frequencies in the swept laser. In conventional wavelength swept lasers, the relative intensity of the laser output decreases significantly as ... [Opt.

Multiple scattering is one of the main degrading influences in optical coherence tomography, but to date its presence in an image can only be indirectly inferred. We present a polarization-sensitive method that shows the potential to detect it more directly, based on the degree to which the ... [Opt. Express 15, 18033-18049 (2007)]

  10. An assessment of the Wigner distribution method in Doppler OCT

    opticsinfobase.org (Oct 24 2007) Explore Article

    Analyzing the experimental data of the velocity distribution in a fluid flow using Doppler Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), we compared the Wigner distribution method to the short-time Fourier transform method, the Hilbert-based phase-resolved method and the autocorrelation method. We conclude that the pseudo Wigner-distribution signal processing method is overall more precise than other often-used methods in Doppler OCT for the analysis of cross-sectional velocity distributions.

    Science/AAAS (Nov 15 1991) Cardiology , Ophthalmology Explore Article

    A technique called optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been developed for noninvasive cross-sectional imaging in biological systems. OCT uses low-coherence interferometry to produce a two-dimensional image of optical scattering from internal tissue microstructures in a way that is analogous to ultrasonic pulse-echo imaging. OCT has longitudinal and lateral spatial resolutions of a few micrometers and can detect reflected signals as small as approximately 10(-10) of the incident optical power. Tomographic ...
