ABSTRACT

In this paper a new method is proposed to enhance the resolution of tomographical images of a full-field optical coherence tomography (OCT) system without improving the bandwidth of light source. Theoretic study and simulation indicate that the method improves the system resolution and quality of retrieved tomographic images for the multilayer information carrier. Experiment results are also given in support of the proposed method.
