Abstract

Basically, OCT use the interference effect of Michelson interferometer. The receiver noise of interferometer is a important fact to improve the system performance. To improve the system performance for high resolution image processing, we design a interferometer topology adding the attenuator to the reference arm. In this paper, we design the receiver noise parameter and computer simulation. In this results, SNR of the new topology system is improved 5dB compare to standard interferometer.
