Abstract :
This study presents the first experimental demonstration of quantum optical coherence tomography (QOCT) technique using a thin window of glass as a sample. The dispersion cancellation capability is exhibited by carrying out the measurement on the same sample after burying it under a highly dispersive medium. A detailed comparison of these results are also presented with measurements performed by classical OCT.
