Paper Abstract
A new configuration for optical coherence tomography is proposed that utilizes a phase-conjugate amplifier in conjunction with a Michelson interferometer to detect interference between two classical light fields with a non-zero phase-sensitive cross correlation. This imaging configuration - which we call phase-conjugate optical coherence tomography (PC-OCT) - shares the same factor-of-two axial resolution improvement and cancellation of even-order dispersion terms that are the key features of quantum optical coherence tomography, but without the necessity for non-classical signal and reference beams. Under appropriate conditions, PC-OCT can achieve a signal-to-noise ratio that is comparable to that of conventional optical coherence tomography.
