We previously demonstrated, with both theoretical and experimental studies, the dynamic range limitation with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) relative to time domain OCT. A significant portion of this limitation was due to the difference of analog/digital conversion. In this paper, a new method of true logarithmic amplification is discussed theoretically and tested experimentally to increase the dynamic range of a swept source OCT. With the current experimental setup, an increase of the dynamic range by about 6 dB was obtained.
我们之前通过理论和实验研究均证明,与时域光学相干断层扫描(OCT)相比,光谱域光学相干断层扫描存在动态范围限制。这种限制的很大一部分归因于模拟/数字转换的差异。本文从理论上讨论了一种新的真对数放大方法,并进行了实验测试,以提高扫频源光学相干断层扫描的动态范围。利用当前的实验装置,动态范围提高了约6分贝。
