Quantum optical coherence tomography of a biological sample
arXiv:0809.4721 · doi:10.1016/j.optcom.2008.11.061
Abstract
Quantum optical coherence tomography (QOCT) makes use of an entangled-photon light source to carry out dispersion-immune axial optical sectioning. We present the first experimental QOCT images of a biological sample: an onion-skin tissue coated with gold nanoparticles. 3D images are presented in the form of 2D sections of different orientations.
