Abstract

A parallel detecting optical coherence tomography (OCT) setup and method, in which the light paths of the illumination of the sample and of the detection of the backscattered light do not use the same apertures. The separation of illumination and detection apertures filters these disturbing reflexes from the backscattered light of the sample and significantly increases image quality.
