Abstract

A signal control module integrated to a low coherence interferometry including a one-dimensional (1D) array image sensor is provided. The signal control module includes an image acquisition controller and a signal controller. The image acquisition controller sends a 1D image acquisition control signal. The signal controller sends a two-dimensional (2D) image acquisition control signal, wherein the 1D and 2D image acquisition control signals are synchronized with each other. The 1D array image sensor captures 1D image information of an object-to-be-tested at different positions along a direction according to the 1D and 2D image acquisition control signals. The 1D image information constitutes 2D image information. Furthermore, a low coherence interferometry is provided.
