Abstract:
1. A full-field optical coherence tomography system for imaging an object, comprising: a light source generating an input light beam having a low temporal coherence; a processing interferometric device comprising: an imaging interferometric device comprising: a multichannel acquisition device arranged to receive a recombination of the first output beam and the second output beam, wherein the processing interferometric device includes at least one focusing optical element arranged between the means for splitting the input light beam and the at least one reflecting surface of the processing interferometric device, the at least one focusing optical element configured to focus at least one of the input beams onto the corresponding reflecting surface of the processing interferometric device, wherein the at least one focusing optical element comprises at least one first lens, and a material of said first lens of the processing interferometric device induces an optical path length difference between the first and the second input beams of the processing interferometric device, said optical path length difference being compensated by a second lens, and wherein the full-field optical coherence tomography system further comprises a probe coupled to the imaging interferometric device, said probe having a distal end to be placed in a proximity of the object and said second lens being placed at said distal end.
