AI Article Synopsis

  • Quantum optical coherence tomography (QOCT) is a new method aimed at improving image resolution in optical coherence tomography (OCT), particularly when dealing with dispersion effects.
  • An experimental study successfully demonstrated QOCT's capability to achieve a depth resolution of 2.5 micrometers, the highest reported so far for this technology.
  • The results indicate that QOCT can produce clear images of dispersive materials, while traditional OCT images suffer from significant degradation.

Article Abstract

Quantum optical coherence tomography (QOCT) is a promising approach to overcome the degradation of the resolution in optical coherence tomography (OCT) due to dispersion. Here, we report on an experimental demonstration of QOCT imaging in the high-resolution regime. We achieved a depth resolution of 2.5 m, which is the highest value for QOCT imaging, to the best of our knowledge. We show that the QOCT image of a dispersive material remains clear whereas the OCT image is drastically degraded.
