Calibration of Lateral Scanning in Optical Coherence Tomography Devices

Methods for determining the dependence of the lateral-scan coordinate on the A-scan number from tomographic images of test samples are investigated and techniques for compensating for horizontal distortions of tomographic images caused by uneven speed of the probing-beam displacement are proposed. An opal-glass Ronchi ruling and an inclined flat surface of the volume-scattering plate were used as test samples .
