Abstract
Phase sensitive optical coherence tomography (OCT) is able to measure small axial motion at the level of ten nanometer. However, when interfaces are located close to each other, the phase of one interface may influence the phase of the other interface. This spectral leakage hampers the ability to see relative motion between structures within the sample, especially when the separation is below the axial resolution. Spectral estimation OCT (SE-OCT) based on IAA can not only improve the axial resolution beyond the conventional bandwidth limitation, but also reduce this spectral leakage. Here we show accurate reconstruction of the vibration of an interface at sub-resolution distance from a high- intensity interface with a different vibration frequency. Phase preserved IAA successfully reduces spectral leakage and outperforms conventional DFT-based reconstruction methods.
