Abstract
An efficient technique of the coherent noise separation of and compensation for in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is proposed and validated. The coherent noise is separated during one exposure by modulating the relative delay of the signal and reference waves by a certain waveform. It is shown that the influence of internal motions in an object on the coherent noise separation quality can be reduced by increasing of modulation frequency. The technique has been numerically and experimentally validated.
