Abstract

A method of using multiple spectral channels to measure dispersion mismatch in optical coherence tomography (OCT) and low coherence interferometry systems is presented. The method is tested on a time domain OCT system in comparison to the measurement of the auto-correlation profile. The method is quicker to implement and is more sensitive than the measurement of the auto-correlation profile.
