Image Processing for Phase-Sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography

Focusing on phase-sensitive imaging techniques, this book explores optical coherence tomography (OCT) for micron-scale structures. It emphasizes the application of OCT, particularly polarization-sensitive (PS-OCT) and differential phase contrast (DPC-OCT), while also drawing parallels with phase contrast microscopy. By highlighting the transfer of biological imaging methods to technical material sciences, it showcases the potential for enhanced image processing, leading to better quantitative insights into specimen and material behavior. The work integrates optics, mathematics, and image processing from an interdisciplinary perspective.
