Title:
SYSTEMS FOR EXTENDED DEPTH FREQUENCY DOMAIN OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY (FDOCT) AND RELATED METHODS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/037980
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Systems for extended depth frequency domain optical coherence tomography are provided including a detection system configured to sample spectral elements at substantially equal frequency intervals, wherein a spectral width associated with the sampled spectral elements is not greater than one-half of the frequency interval. Related methods are also provided herein.
