Multilayered scattering reference mirror for full field optical coherence tomography with application to cell profiling

A multilayered scattering structure is proposed and demonstrated as a reference mirror for use with full field optical coherence tomography (FF-OCT) to increase contrast of tissue imaging and provide compensation. Common-path FF-OCT systems were built demonstrating high resolution cell profiling. Th...

Description
Summary:	A multilayered scattering structure is proposed and demonstrated as a reference mirror for use with full field optical coherence tomography (FF-OCT) to increase contrast of tissue imaging and provide compensation. Common-path FF-OCT systems were built demonstrating high resolution cell profiling. The use of this mirror with frequency domain FF-OCT allows 3D images in real time.
