Conclusion
We have presented a novel optical system, a spatio-temporal joint transform correlator (ST-JTC). The system based on similarity between a conventional spatial joint transform correlator, which is one of the most popular optical computing technique and a spectral filtering method, which is one of the most popular method of controlling the temporal profile of an ultra-fast light pulse. Based on ST-OCT, we have constructed a surfacemeasurement system. Then this principle is applied to a highly scattering biological issue. Fourier transform of the power spectrum is done by a numerical method. This system is called usually Fourier domain OCT. Finally polarization sensitive FD-OCT is discussed to measure birefringence property of biological issue.
