Abstract
We studied the optimization of common-path optical coherence tomography (CP OCT) sensitivity through an angled fiber probe. The magnitude of reference power derived from the tip of the fiber was optimized through careful selection of the polishing angle. We experimentally measured the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at different polishing angles to validate the effectiveness of this technique. We also obtained OCT images with the reference optimized CP OCT with more than 8 dB improvement in SNR.
