Abstract
The temporally magnified tomography system is further improved in terms of resolution and imaging stability. We simplify the system configuration and improve the axial resolution simultaneously by utilizing a stabilized all-fiber broadband source. The highly stable spectrum of the source assisted by a phase-locked loop guarantees an improved imaging quality. In addition, the impact of the repetition-rate fluctuation of the source to the system stability is analyzed, which also applies to other temporal imaging systems. Achieving a 90-μm in-air resolution at 89-MHz A-scan rate and improved stability, we are taking one major step toward the practical application of this new optical tomographic modality.
