Abstract :
We report the possibility of implementing the fiber-based second-harmonic optical coherence tomography (SHOCT) system by using photonic crystal fiber (PCF) coupler. The OCT interferogram of a test mirror could be obtained with the fundamental wave (1040 nm) and the second-harmonic (520 nm) wave generated by a non-linear crystal, simultaneously.
