Quantitative phase reconstruction for orthogonal-scanning differential phase-contrast optical coherence tomography

Optics 2011-11-11 v1

Abstract

We present differential phase-contrast optical coherence tomography (DPC-OCT) with two transversally separated probing beams to sense phase gradients in various directions by employing a rotatable Wollaston prism. In combination with a two-dimensional mathe- matical reconstruction algorithm based on a regularized shape from shading (SfS) method accurate quantitative phase maps can be determined from a set of two orthogonal en-face DPC-OCT images, as exemplified on various technical samples.
