Apparatus and method for frequency domain optical coherence tomography

摘要

An apparatus for frequency domain optical coherence tomography comprises an optical frequency comb generator (110) for generating a light beam (210) consisting of discrete spectral components and a spectral analyser (170) which disperses the interference light beam (250) on a multi-element detection device (174) such that each detection element (173) registers at most one of the discrete spectral components.
