Abstract :
Using a simple Michelson interferometer, optical coherence tomography (OCT) system is possible to configure with low cost, small size and high resolution. By improving the performance of interferometer and image process program, we established the enhancement of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and obtained the more distinct cross-sectional images.
