HIGH-SPEED OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY USING MULTIPLE INTERFEROMETERS WITH SUPPRESSED MULTIPLE SCATTERING CROSS-TALK

摘要

A system for optical coherence tomography using multiple interferometers presented. The interferometry system includes a source configured to generate a variable wavelength light beam. A first splitter is configured to split the variable wavelength light beam to at least a first light beam and a second light beam. A first delay element is configured to delay the first light beam by a first time delay. A second delay element is configured to delay the second light beam by a second time delay, such that the delayed first light beam and the delayed second light beam are out of coherence with each other. A first interferometer is configured to receive the delayed first light beam as an input. A second interferometer is configured to receive the delayed second light beam as an input.

1. An interferometry system comprising:
a source configured to generate a variable wavelength beam of radiation; a first splitter configured to split the variable wavelength beam of radiation into at least a first beam of radiation and a second beam of radiation; a first delay element configured to delay the first beam of radiation by a first time delay; a second delay element configured to delay the second beam of radiation by a second time delay, such that the delayed first beam of radiation and the delayed second beam of radiation are out of coherence with respect to each other; a first interferometer configured to receive the delayed first beam of radiation as an input; and a second interferometer configured to receive the delayed second beam of radiation as an input.
