Handbook of Optical Coherence Tomography

Brett E. Bouma, Guillermo J. Tearney

Introduction to optical coherence tomography. Technology: optical coherence tomography theory; optical sources; reference optical delay scanning; scanning probe design; system integration and signal/image processing; speckle reduction techniques;Doppler OCT; polarization sensitive OCT; optical coherence microscopy; full-field optical coherence microscopy; spectral radar; alternative OCT techniques. Applications: OCT for high-density data storage; microstructure and damage characterization ofglass reinforced polymer composites using optical coherence tomography; optical properties of biological tissue; OCT in the diagnosis and management of posterior segment disorders; OCT in the anterior segment; developmental biology; dermatology;identification of neoplasias; OCT in dentistry; surgical guidance; gynaecology; cardiology; otolaryngology; urology.
