Deep imaging in highly scattering media by combining reflection matrix measurement with Bessel-like beam based optical coherence tomography

Multiple scattering in biomedical tissue limits the imaging depth within a range of 1–2 mm for conventional optical imaging techniques. To extend the imaging depth into the scattering medium, a computational method based on the reflection matrix measurement has been developed to retrieve the singly back-scattered signal light from the dominant detrimental multiple-scattered background. After applying singular value decomposition on the measured matrix in the post-process, the target image underneath the turbid media is clearly recovered. To increase the depth of focus of the incident light by elongating the focal spot along the optical axis, a digital grating pattern ...
