The invention discloses an
optical coherence tomography optical path structure and a
dispersion compensation method thereof. The light path structure comprises a coherent
light source, a 2 * 2
optical fiber coupler, a reference light path, a sample light path, an equal-wave-number
spectrograph and an upper computer; low-coherence
broadband light emitted by the coherent
light source is divided into reference light and sample light after passing through the 2 * 2
optical fiber coupler, the reference light and the sample light are sequentially transmitted in a reference light path and a sample light path, the reference light and the sample light are retroreflected through a sample and a
reference mirror and are retroreflected to the 2 * 2
optical fiber coupler according to an original light path, interference is generated, and interference light beams are transmitted to the equal-wave-number
spectrometer. Interference light beams are split to an upper computer according to equal wave number intervals, and a
tomographic image of a sample is obtained through
algorithm processing of the upper computer. By means of the structure, the existing dispersion loss problem is solved from the source, most dispersion generated by a light path is solved, other dispersion is eliminated by adding a dispersion compensating mirror made of
optical glass materials with certain thickness in the light path through
algorithm calculation, the
algorithm is simple, convenient and fast, and the imaging speed is high.
