Abstract :
We report the construction and characterization of an all-reflective OCT (R-OCT) system using a newly developed compact fiber-based broadband supercontinuum source. We achieved an axial resolution of 1.5 μm in tissue (2 μm in air) with 87 dB dynamic range at a center wavelength around 1300 nrn.
