Abstract

A line-field scanning Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) system (LF-FDOCT) that makes high-resolution and large-dynamic-range imaging possible was demonstrated. Unlike the conventional flying-spot OCT system, the x-axis parallel imaging (one B-scan) has a coherent imaging mode. A theoretical simulation of parallel interference imaging was derived, and the anisotropic resolution along two orthogonal directions was achieved. Validated by experimental results, the spatial resolutions along the x and y axis directions were 2.46 and 2.19  μm, and the theoretical resolutions were 1.8 and 1.34  μm, respectively. The field of view (FOV) in the lateral direction was 900  μm   (  x  )    ×  850  μm   (  y  )  , and the axial resolution and FOV in the experiment were 2.5 and 700  μm, respectively. The maximal axial sensitivity was measured to be 90.5 dB when the sample was a specula. The en face of tomato and the cross-section of multilayer glass were demonstrated based on the LF-FDOCT system. The three-dimensional image of adherend sample including gels and microelectrodes was realized, proving the LF-FDOCT system had the capability of high resolution and high-dynamic-range imaging.
