| Sumario: | The imaging penetration depth of an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system is limited by the dynamic range of the system. In a common case that signals exceed the dynamic range of a Fourier domain OCT (FDOCT) system, saturation artifacts degrade the image quality. In this chapter, we demonstrate some new cost-effective techniques to improve the dynamic range of a swept-source OCT (SSOCT) system. For example, one method is based on a dual-channel detection technique to enhance the dynamic range by reconstructing the saturated signals due to strong reflection of the sample surface. Another method utilizes a tunable high-pass filter to compensate the attenuation of light signal in deep tissue. It was demonstrated that these techniques can improve the dynamic range of an SSOCT system by more than 10 dB with a low bit-depth analog-to-digital converter. |
