Optical Coherence Tomography of Heterogeneous Tissue: Calculation of the Heterodyne Signal

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present a new theoretical description of the Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technique for imaging through highly scattering tissue, e.g. human skin. The description, which includes both the scattering and the focusing of the light, is based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle first described by Lutomirski and Yura1 for beam propagation in the turbulent atmosphere.
