A scattering phantom for observing long range order with two-dimensional angle-resolved Low-Coherence Interferometry

摘要

Angle-resolved low coherence interferometry (a/LCI) is an approach for assessing tissue structure based on light scattering data. Recent advances in a/LCI have extended the analysis to study scattering distributions in two dimensions. In order to provide suitable scattering phantoms for 2D a/LCI, we have developed phantoms based on soft lithography which can provide a range of structures including long range order. Here we characterize these phantoms and demonstrate their utility for providing standardized multi-scale structural information for light scattering measurements.
