The physics principle of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). Top left (A) The optical path difference and the phase difference between the incoming and the refracted lights. Top right (B) The incoming laser light interacting with tissues and being refracted and collected by a detector. Bottom left (C) the optical coherence interference generated in the OCT system. Bottom right (D) the OCT signal being formed and detected.
