Single-camera full-range high-resolution spectral domain optical coherence tomography

We developed spectral domain optical coherence tomography using a dual-channel spectrometer for complex conjugate artifacts (CCA) suppression. We used a three-line charge coupled device to simultaneously detect two interferometric spectra with 2 /32π/3 phase difference. The complex interferometric s...
