Abstract
This paper presents a review of the activities on optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the Applied Optics Group (AOG), University of Kent, encompassing optical devices, sources for OCT as well as OCT applications. Out of the directions of applications approached, two fields are selected, applications in medical imaging with emphasis on ophthalmology and endoscopy and in non destructive testing. An important advantage of OCT is that high axial resolution is achievable at comfortable working distances, which is an important requirement for safe scanning of patients as well as of valuable materials or objects of art.
