Paper Abstract
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a promising non-invasive imaging technology capable of
carrying out 3D high-resolution cross-sectional images of the internal microstructure of examined material.
However, almost all of these systems are expensive, requiring the use of complex optical setups, expensive light
sources and complicated scanning of the sample under test. In addition most of these systems have not taken
advantage of the competitively priced optical components available at wavelength within the main optical
communications band located in the 1550 nm region. A comparatively simple and inexpensive full-field OCT
system (FF-OCT), based on a superluminescent diode (SLD) light source and anti-stokes imaging device was
constructed, to perform 3D cross-sectional imaging. This kind of inexpensive setup with moderate resolution
could be easily applicable in low-level biomedical and industrial diagnostics. This paper involves calibration of
the system and determines its suitability for imaging structures of biological tissues such as teeth, which has low
absorption at 1550 nm.
