Methods, systems, and computer program products for removing undesired artifacts in fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT) systems using integrating buckets

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer program products for removing undesired artifacts in Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT) systems using integrating buckets are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method includes introducing a variable phase delay between a reference arm and a sample arm of an FDOCT interferometer using sinusoidal phase modulation. Further, the method includes acquiring an interferometric intensity signal using an integrating buckets technique. The method also includes resolving the interferometric intensity signal to remove undesired artifacts.
