Effect of image artefacts on phase conjugation with spectral domain optical coherence tomography
Abstract
Recently the acquisition of the time-resolved reflection matrix was demonstrated based on spectral domain optical coherence tomography. In principle, the matrix describes the linear dependence of the OCT signal received from different depths on the field which is incident to the scattering sample. Knowledge of the matrix, hence, enables beam shaping to selectively enhance the received signal, for example to increase the penetration depth when imaging turbid media. We investigate the impact of image artefacts on the approach. Phase conjugation is shown to enhance the OCT signal, but not autocorrelation and mirror artefacts. Imaging applications are demonstrated indicating the potential for future in-vivo studies on biotissues.
