Abstract

Standard Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) and line-field Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (LF-FDOCT) are described. The standard FD-OCT has the measurement speed of 36 frames/sec and one frame consisting 500 A-scans. The LF-FDOCT is an improved version of FD-OCT and determines a cross section of a sample without any mechanical scanning. The LF-FDOCT has the measurement speed of 30 frames/sec, which is corresponding to 480 KH/ A-scan. A galvano-meter is introduced into the LF-FDOCT and it enables three-dimensional OCT measurement with only one-dimensional mechanical scanning
