Abstract

We demonstrate the use of phase-shifting interferometry in OCT to determine the optical phase and fringe visibility within the coherence envelope. Phase-shifting algorithms provide both the optical phase and visibility from a series of intensity measurements corresponding to controlled phase shifts. In addition to providing phase information which supplements the visibility or envelope data which is traditionally obtained in OCT, this technique will provide an independent, highly sensitive measurement of the coherence envelope which may be used for a precise determination of the source power spectrum.
