Scanning dynamic light scattering optical coherence tomography for measurement of high omnidirectional flow velocities

Abstract

We show scanning dynamic light scattering optical coherence tomography (OCT) omnidirectional flow measurements. Our method improves the velocity measurement limit over conventional correlation-based or phase-resolved Doppler OCT by more than a factor of 2. Our technique is applicable without a-priori knowledge of the flow geometry as our method works both for non-zero Doppler angle and non-ideal scan alignment. In addition, the method improves the particle diffusion coefficient estimation for particles under flow.
