title: Simultaneous dual-band ultra-high resolution full-field optical coherence tomography.
abstract: Ultrahigh-resolution full-field optical coherence tomography (FF-OCT) is demonstrated in the 800 nm and 1200 nm wavelength regions simultaneously using a Silicon-based (Si) CCD camera and an Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs) camera as area detectors and a halogen lamp as illumination source. The FF-OCT setup is optimized to support the two broad spectral bands in parallel, achieving a detection sensitivity of approximately 90 dB and a micrometer-scale resolution in the three directions. Images of ex vivo biological tissues are presented (rabbit trachea and Xenopus laevis tadpole) with an increase in penetration depth at 1200 nm. A color image representation is applied to fuse both images and enhance spectroscopic property visualization.
