  • Abstract
    We demonstrate ultrahigh-speed optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging (at 5,000,000 A-lines/s) of biological samples using a recently introduced stretched-pulse interference technique with significantly improved performances in terms of sensitivity (-82dB) and resolution (42-mum).
