Improved signal-to-noise ratio in spectral-domain compared with time-domain optical coherence tomography

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) analysis is presented for optical coherence tomography (OCT) signals in which time-domain performance is compared with that of the spectral domain. A significant SNR gain of several hundredfold is found for acquisition in the spectral domain. The SNR benefit is demonstrated experimentally in a hybrid time-domain–spectral-domain OCT system.
