“…2) were the first to be implemented [1]. These perform the depth scan based on low coherence interferometry (LCI) which had previously been applied for examining optical fibers [13] or for one-dimensional length measurements of human eyes in vivo [14]. By using light with broad spectral bandwidth and thus low coherence length, only backreflections from the sample with a round-trip path approximately equal to the reference path can interfere with the reference beam.…”

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique providing real-time twoand three-dimensional images of scattering samples with micrometer resolution. Mapping the local reflectivity, OCT visualizes the morphology of the sample. In addition, functional properties such as birefringence, motion or the distribution of certain substances can be detected with high spatial resolution. The main field of application is bio-medical imaging and diagnostics. In ophthalmology, OCT is accepted as a clinical standard for diagnosing and monitoring treatment of a number of retinal diseases, and OCT is becoming an important instrument for clinical cardiology. New applications are emerging in various medical fields, e. g. early-stage cancer detection, surgical guidance, and early diagnosis of musculoskeletal diseases. OCT has also proven its value as a tool for developmental biology. The number of companies involved in manufacturing OCT systems has increased substantially during the last years-especially due to its success in opthalmology-and this technology can be expected to continue to spread into various fields of application.

“…Optical coherence-domain reflectometry (OCDR) is a high-resolution axial-imaging technique originally developed for optical-fiber and integrated-optics applications [1][2][3]. It offers high resolution, typically of the order of µm, which is achieved via the use of interferometry and the broad bandwidth of the optical source [4].…”

Polarization-sensitive quantum optical coherence tomography (PS-QOCT) makes use of a Type-II twin-photon light source for carrying out optical sectioning with polarization sensitivity. A BBO nonlinear optical crystal pumped by a Ti:sapphire psec-pulsed laser is used to confirm the theoretical underpinnings of this imaging paradigm. PS-QOCT offers even-order dispersion cancellation with simultaneous access to the group-velocity dispersion characteristics of the interstitial medium between the reflecting surfaces of the sample.
