Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography: a Novel and Fast Tool for NDT
Spectral-domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) is a new, promising variant of OCT, providing superior sensitivity and measurement speed for cross-sectional imaging of turbid materials. OCT, originally developed for applications in the field of biomedical diagnostics, has shown high potential for other non-biomedical investigation tasks, e.g. within the field of non-destructive testing (NDT) and contactless material characterization. However, mostly standard OCT techniques have been used for these applications. Therefore, we demonstrate and evaluate, partly for the first time, the suitability of SD-OCT for selected applications in the field of NDT: contactless imaging of the interior of materials for the determination ...
