Abstract:

A comparative evaluation of the influence of scattered radiation on the quality of generated tomographic images in spectral optical coherence tomography systems with a tunable wavelength is presented. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that systems with a linear illumination field provide a high operating speed and reduce the noise component of the image by about half compared with the full-field method when a tomographic image of a scattering object is obtained.
