  • Abstract
    In frequency-domain optical coherence tomography the tissue scattering function is recovered by a simple inverse Fourier transform (IFT) of the measured power spectrum. Instead, we report that taking an IFT of the square-root of the same power spectrum improves the axial-resolution and reduces the auto-correlation noise.
