Abstract:
An optical coherence tomography system for imaging a sample is configured so as to illuminate a region of interest of the sample with incident light from an optical source. The optical coherence tomography system is further configured so as to interfere, on an optical detector, reference light from the optical source with offset returning light emerging from the sample along an offset collection path which is spatially offset from the region of interest of the sample, thereby creating interference on the optical detector.

Claim (Index 24):
The system according to  claim 23 , wherein the optical source is tunable and the system further comprises a controller configured for communication with the optical detector and the optical source, wherein the controller is configured to:\n vary a wavelength of the optical source; use the optical detector to detect the interference as a function of wavelength of the optical source to provide an optical spectrum of the interference; and use an inverse Fourier transform to convert the optical spectrum of the interference into an optical coherence tomography image of the sample as a function of depth through the sample.
