Abstract

A quantum spectral-domain optical coherence tomography technique based on the control of the joint spectral amplitude of a biphoton has been developed. An analytical expression for a quantum spectral-domain optical coherence tomography signal has been obtained in the case of a Gaussian joint spectral amplitude. The effect of the shape of the joint spectral amplitude of the biphoton on the resulting interference signal has been analyzed. The possibility of improving the quality of the interference signal by controlling the parameters of the joint spectral amplitude has been considered. It has been shown theoretically that the proposed approach provides a higher longitudinal spatial resolution than other optical coherence tomography techniques.
