Abstract
We investigated on the signal in single shot wide-field optical coherence tomographic (SS-WF-OCT) system to improve the dynamic range (DR). The SS-WF-OCT system is based on two-dimensional (2D) polarization Michelson interferometer and superluminescent diode (center wavelength of 842.5 nm) as light source. Two π-phase-shifted interferograms were acquired simultaneously using a single CCD camera and after subtraction, the en-face OCT image (area (x) 4.0 mm × (y) 4.3 mm) is obtained using 2D Hilbert transform. The OCT signal including incoherent background noises was analyzed. To improve the DR, background noise subtraction has been introduced and its measurement process is presented. This method is valuable during the background noise is stable. Using the scattering samples, such as, grind metal and polymer sponge with background subtraction algorithm, a significant reduction in background noise and improvement in the DR was demonstrated .
