Optical coherence tomography (OCT) based on low-coherence light interference has widely been utilized in biology and medicine as a noninvasive tomographic imaging method, however, resolution of OCT has usually been limited to a few micro meters. Compared with OCT, quantum optical coherence tomography (QOCT), which is based on two-photon interference of quantum entangled photon pairs, has enable us to achieve higher resolution of OCT at deeper location in a sample, due to the frequency correlation of quantum entangled photon pairs. We have generated broadband spontaneous parametric fluorescence to investigate the dispersion tolerance of QOCT by comparison with OCT for the same sample. |
