Abstract
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has developed rapidly since its potential for applications in clinical medicine was first demonstrated a few years ago [1]. By combining the advantages of white-light interferometry and confocal microscopy, OCT achieves sufficient sensitivity to probe weakly back-scattering structures beneath the surface of biological tissues with high resolution (- 10 microns) and high dynamic range (> 95 dB) [2].
