Using the continuum of fractional Fourier domains to compensate dispersion in optical coherence tomography

Using the continuum of fractional Fourier domains to compensate dispersion in optical coherence tomography

Using the fractional Fourier transform in optical coherence tomography, the dispersion induced by a 26 mm water cell was compensated for a spectral bandwidth of 110 nm. The theoretical axial resolution of 3.6 μm was recovered from the dispersion degraded point spread function of 49 μm.
