Dual femtosecond laser based multiheterodyne low coherence interferometry

Abstract

We present a high-speed, high-resolution, non-mechanical time-domain method for low coherence interferometry, utilizing multiheterodyne detection via two mode-locked femtosecond lasers. Tomographic depth sensing over 150 mm with 5.9 kHz scanning rates and 8 µm depth resolution is demonstrated.
