Comparison of tissue dispersion measurement techniques based on optical coherence tomography

The effects of dispersion on optical coherence tomography (OCT) images have long been documented. The imbalance of spectral broadening, caused by dispersion mismatches in the two arms of the OCT interferometer, can result in significant resolution degradation. Efforts to correct this phenomenon have resulted in improved image quality using various techniques. However, dispersion is also present and varies in tissues. As a result, group velocity...
