Abstract

In this report we applied the principle of Master-Slave Interferometry (MSI) to an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) employing a Super-Continuum (SC) light source. A-scans and B-scan images of biological and non-biological sample are presented in order to demonstrate similar performance with the images obtained with the resampled Fourier Transform (FT) based OCT technique. Dispersion tolerance of MSI method is demonstrated as a constant axial resolution over the depth range even though dispersion is left uncompenstaed in the system.
