Index of refraction estimation using dual-angle optical coherence tomography

The index of refraction (n) is an intrinsic parameter of materials and tissues that has recently been proven useful as a biomarker for the diagnosis disease. It can also serve as a source of optical contrast for imaging and provides invaluable information on disease and cell dynamics for studies in various fields such as hematology, oncology, etc. There are many methods to experimentally measure n, e.g. using prisms or interferometers.
