Abstract
Balanced dispersion between reference and sample arms is critical in frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) to perform imaging with the optimal axial resolution, and the spectroscopic analysis of each voxel in FD-OCT can provide the metric of the spectrogram. Here we revisited dispersion mismatch in the spectrogram view using the spectroscopic analysis of voxels in FD-OCT and uncovered that the dispersion mismatch disturbs the A-scan's spectrogram and reshapes the depth-resolved spectra in the spectrogram. Based on this spectroscopic effect of dispersion mismatch on A-scan's spectrogram, we proposed a numerical method to detect dispersion mismatch and perform dispersion compensation for FD-OCT. The proposed method can visually and quantitatively detect and compensate for dispersion mismatch in FD-OCT, with visualization, high sensitivity, and independence from sample structures. Experimental results of tape and mouse eye suggest that this technique can be an effective method for the detection and compensation of dispersion mismatch in FD-OCT.
