Abstract
We propose and demonstrate a novel detection technique, based on a modified electronic phase-locked loop, for Doppler optical coherence tomography. The technique permits real-time simultaneous reflectivity and continuous, bidirectional velocity mapping in turbid media over a wide velocity range with minimal sensitivity penalty compared with conventional optical coherence tomography, which is a major advance over current postprocessing and discrete parallel detection techniques.
