Optical coherence tomography method and equipment therefor

Abstract

The invention relates to optical coherent tomography method and the device, relating to the technical field of optical measurement and medical detecting instrument. The invention includes the following steps: (1) let the light beam to be measured generate reflected light and transmitted light which radiates to a detecting target object; the reflected light of the detecting target object returns from the original path and combines with the reflected light into one light beam which is then divided into two light beams; one of the light beam returns from the original path and the other is retained for a set light journey and then returns from the original path; the two returning light beams combine and generate interference and then enter a photodetector and generate relative electrical signals; (2) move the light beam irradiated to the detecting target object in all directions to scan the detecting target object; the adjustable light delaying element does one delaying operation each time the light beam is moved to a point; (3)repeat the operation to let the interferometric phase of the measured light correspond to different sections of the target object; (4)treat the interferometric photoelectric signals and send the treatment result to a computer for graphical analysis and display. The invention has the advantages that the device is convenient to move and small in size and the data is easy to process.
