We demonstrate tomographic and volumetric reconstruction of composite material using a full-field swept-source optical coherence tomographic (FF-SS-OCT) system. The FF-SS-OCT system is based on a co-axial and common-path optical interferometric system based on Mirau objective lens. By means of sweeping the frequency of the broad-band light source, multiple spectral interferograms are recorded and stacked in the X–Y–λ axes and processed in a computer. Optically sectioned images of the composite material at different depths are reconstructed. From the spectral interference fringe signal, the phase maps at various depths are also reconstructed. Due to its common path configuration, the present FF-SS-OCT system is highly stable and less sensitive to external vibration and does not require lateral B-scan leading to a large area measurement of the sample.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
