摘要
We have developed new methods of IR ultrabroadband interferometry for increasing the limiting capabilities of optical coherent tomography (OCT). In particular, this permitted us to create an optical coherent microscope combining the principles of confocal microscopy and OCT. To increase the longitudinal resolution, we synthesized an ultrabroadband optical spectrum based on two superluminescent diodes with separated radiation spectra. The resulting longitudinal resolution was 3.4 μm and the transverse resolution was 3.9 μm. Images of the inner structure of biological tissues are obtained at the cellular level. Experimental results of a study of biological tissue by the cross-polarization OCT are described.
