Abstract:
A method for increasing the imaging rate for an optical coherence tomography system is disclosed. The method comprises generating an interferometric signal by interrogating each of M image points on a sample with a plurality of wavelength bands that are collectively spectrally interleaved, time encoding the interferometric signal, and sampling the time-encoded interferometric signal at a single detector.
