Optical coherence tomography based on intensity correlations of quasi-thermal light

Optical coherence tomography based on intensity correlations of quasi-thermal light

We show theoretically that the longitudinal resolution of conventional optical coherence tomography can be improved by a factor of radic2 when a two-photon (as opposed to a single-photon) sensitive detector is used, and we present preliminary supporting results.
