Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging modality developed in the early 1990’s for retinal imaging. Further modifications allowed OCT’s to be used on other parts of the human body, and non-medical areas as well. Time-domain OCT (TD-OCT) basically is a Michelson interferometer wi...
