Modulated deconvolution for resolution improvement in Fourier domain optical coherence tomography
This manuscript presents a novel technique for axial resolution improvement in Fourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (FDOCT). The technique is based on the modulated deconvolution of OCT signals which results in a resolution improvement by a factor of ~ 7 without the need for a broader bandwidth light source. This method relies on a combination of two basic properties: beating, which appears when adding two signals of slightly different frequencies, and the resolution improvement, achieved by deconvolution of an OCT image with the encoded source autocorrelation function. In FDOCT the real part of the FFT of the interferogram is modulated by ...
