Claim Text:
1. A method for correcting an optical response of an OCT interferometry system, the method comprising: characterizing the optical response of the OCT interferometry system, wherein characterizing the optical response comprises: calculating a corrected input signal as a function of wavelength of electromagnetic radiation based on the determined optical loss, wherein for each wavelength of the range of wavelengths the corrected input signal is calculated by modifying the corresponding portion of the input signal based on the determined optical loss for the wavelength, such that when pre-emphasized electromagnetic radiation is split through the reference path and the sample path, the electromagnetic radiation returning from the reference path and the sample path does not contain periodic variations in intensity as a function of wavelength; generating the pre-emphasized electromagnetic radiation based on the corrected input signal.
