Multiple scattering in turbid media inhibits optimal light focusing and thus limits the penetration depth in optical coherence tomography (OCT). However, the effects of multiple scattering in a turbid medium can be systematically controlled by shaping the incident wavefront. The authors utilize the reciprocity of Maxwell's equations and finite-difference time-domain numerical analysis to investigate the ultimate performance bounds of wavefront shaping-OCT under ideal and realistic configurations and compare them with the conventional method. The results reveal that the optimized impinging wavefront significantly enhances the penetration depth of OCT.
浑浊介质中的多次散射会抑制最佳光聚焦,从而限制光学相干断层扫描(OCT)的穿透深度。然而,通过塑造入射波前,可以系统地控制浑浊介质中多次散射的影响。作者利用麦克斯韦方程组的互易性和时域有限差分数值分析,研究了在理想和实际配置下波前整形-OCT的极限性能边界,并将其与传统方法进行比较。结果表明,优化后的入射波前显著提高了OCT的穿透深度。
