摘要: In this paper we describe measurements of the contrast transfer function, modulation function and point-spread an optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging system through scattering layers having a dimension-less depth over range 0.2–6.9. The results were found to be insensitive density, indicating that these measurement parameters alone do not well characterize practical ability OCT instrument. Attenuation increased noise floor due primary limit effect multiple on resolution was negligible.
