Abstract:
An optical coherence tomography (OCT) system for imaging a sample is provided. The OCT system includes an optical circuit and a digitization circuit. The optical circuit includes an interferometer and is configured to probe the sample and generate an analog OCT signal representative of the sample. The digitization circuit includes a frequency down converter and an analog-to-digital converter. The digitization circuit is configured to receive, down convert and digitize the analog OCT signal, thereby outputting a digitized down converted signal. A method for imaging a sample is also provided. The method includes steps of optically probing the sample to generate the analog OCT signal representative of the sample and processing the analog OCT signal to obtain the digitized down converted signal.

Claim (Index 19):
The system of  claim 12 , wherein the analog OCT signal has a frequency in the RF domain.
