Abstract

In this paper, we review the developments in optical coherence tomography (OCT) for three-dimensional non-invasive imaging. A number of different OCT techniques are discussed in some detail including time-domain, frequency-domain, full-field, quantum and Doppler OCT. A theoretical treatment is given and some relevant comparisons made between various implementations. The current and potential applications of OCT are discussed, with close attention paid to biomedical imaging and its metrological issues.
