Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an OCT imaging system to reduce or eliminate frequency-domain aliasing artifacts. The frequency is shifted using a carrier frequency to define a sampling range substantially centered on the carrier frequency. An image of the sample is generated from a displayed imaging range that consists of a subset of the frequencies within the sampling range. Furthermore, the system may be configured to determine the carrier frequency such that a Nyquist frequency corresponding to the shifted frequency is extended beyond either an upper or a lower bound of an OCT quality envelope corresponding to the first portion of light. Additionally, the carrier frequency may be determined such that a lower bound of the OCT quality envelope is greater or less than a zero-frequency DC limit.

Claim (Index 6):
The frequency-domain OCT system of  claim 1 , wherein the optical frequency shifter is configured to shift the frequency of the first portion of light based on a determined carrier frequency, wherein a Nyquist frequency corresponding to the first portion of light is extended beyond either an upper or a lower bound of an OCT quality envelope corresponding to the first portion of light.
