Abstract

Optical-coherence tomography (OCT) is a relatively new and booming technique for optical imaging in turbid media, including biotissues. This technique uses interferometer with low-coherence light source as a time-gating device, allowing one to distinguish the light retroreflected from the certain small volume of the media from the much more powerful diffusely scattered light. Since the spatial resolution is limited by the coherence length of the light source, images with resolutions as small as several micrometers could be obtained.
