Abstract :
We introduce a numerical in-focus Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (in-focus FD-OCT) which can measure cross-sectional images of samples with the high lateral resolution comparable with the resolution in the focal plane in overall range of measurement. In this method, the lateral resolution is enhanced by lateral signal processing of a complex OCT image obtained with FD-OCT. Quantitative evaluation of this method and application to measurement of a porcine anterior eye chamber are presented.
