Single trace multi-channel low coherence interferometric sensor

BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY In various fields of medicine and engineering it is often necessary to inspect surfaces that are difficult to reach. For example engine cylinders, compressors for jet aircraft engines, heat exchangers, internal organs, cavities, and arterialpassageways in a patient. Biomedical imaging technology, for example, magnetic resonance imaging, X-ray computed tomography, ultrasound, and confocal microscopy can be used to inspect and characterize a variety of tissues and organs.
