  • Abstract
    A novel light source of erbium-fiber ASE-seeded, depolarized, incoherent, CW supercontinuum is proposed for optical coherence tomography imaging. The OCT system using the ~110-nm bandwidth light source is experimentally demonstrated to enable high quality imaging of human tooth tissues.
