Abstract
We describe spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) based on classical intensity correlations. The setup employs a Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer as a classical analogue of quantum OCT. It is shown theoretically that it enables scanless cross-sectional imaging with dispersion cancellation and axial resolution enhancement. Some basic features of the technique are addressed.
