Application of Optical Coherence Tomography for Functional Film Imaging

We propose the application of high-resolution Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in nonbiomedical and biomedical elds. OCT imaging is performed in the biomedical eld for anterior chamber and a tooth, and in the non-biomedical eld for an air-gap imaging, multilayer-thin-lm imaging, and laser-spot-mark monitoring. Our results suggest that OCT is a potential method, with a few microns resolution, for non-destructive investigations in material science and biological research.
