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

Opt Express. 2022 Jun 20;30(13):23382-23397. doi: 10.1364/OE.456139.

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.
