Abstract :
Summary form only given. Optical coherence-domain reflectometry (OCDR) based on optical broadband interferometry is a powerful tool for micrometer-scale imaging in objects including miniature devices and recently biological tissues. In conventional OCDR, the image acquisition speed is limited by the scanning speed of the translating mirror. In this paper we demonstrate a non-scanning OCDR technique for real-time imaging.
