Abstract

In this work, we present an improvement on the use of dual source in Optical Coherence Tomography measurement technique. In a common path configuration, we propose adding antireflection coating (AR-coating) layers to the fiber probe end which act only with wavelengths of one of the sources and not the other. The two sets of measurements are manipulated in such a way that autocorrelation noise is greatly reduced and image details are enhanced..
