摘要

In parallel with progress in generating ultrafast pulse sources and characterization techniques, optical time correlation techniques have seen tremendous development over many years and paved the way for novel applications in non-destructive and high resolution 'optical coherence tomography' (OCT) imaging. Amongst the known correlation techniques, the scan-free approach presents the advantage of single shot detection and real-time acquisition for pulse measurements, but this is not generally considered and applied for OCT imaging. The aim of this paper is to review the scan-free correlation method, analyze its performance and extended features and discuss its application to OCT.
