Abstract

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technology based on low-coherence interferometry that is rapidly finding novel applications in biological sciences and medicine, particularly in disease detection, since it allows high-resolution depth profiles of the samples under consideration [1]. However, material dispersion is a major problem in OCT since it both reduces contrast and resolution with increasing sample depths, hence drastically limiting its potential range of applications.
