Single-shot speckle reduction and dispersion compensation in optical coherence tomography by compounding fractional Fourier domains

Opt Lett. 2013 Jun 1;38(11):1787-9. doi: 10.1364/OL.38.001787.

Abstract

We present speckle suppression and dispersion compensation for Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography based on fractional Fourier transforms of a single A scan. A 1.54-fold reduction in speckle contrast was achieved with group velocity dispersion compensation. The method is demonstrated on biological samples using a swept source configuration at 1310 nm and a spectral-domain system at 840 nm.
