Abstract
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a well- established and important noninvasive technology for imaging through translucent media1 that has already begun clinical trials.2,3 It uses coherent detection to extract a coherent informationbearing signal that is obscured by much higher intensity randomly scattered light. However, in all current OCT setups the coherent information is demodulated using static interferometry that suffers from problems of stability and laser speckle that plague all non-adaptive interferometric applications.
