Sagnac interferometer based optical coherence tomography
We present in this paper an all-fiber Optical Coherence Tomography OCT system in the time domain by employing a Sagnac fiber loop. The optical fiber version of TD-OCT uses directional couplers to construct a Michelson interferometer instead of a beam splitter which is used in the bulk optics version...
