Abstract (EN):
A new transmissive grating-based scanning delay-line for optical coherence tomography is proposed, with dispersion compensation capability. Compared to other spectral delay-lines, our implementation has less loss due to a halved number of diffraction grating reflections, and implements a walk off compensation scheme. The performance of the delay line is evaluated. The delay line transmissive geometry targets balance detection configurations. © 2005 SPIE and OSA.
