Matrix approach of Full-Field OCT for volumetric imaging of an opaque monkey cornea (Conference Presentation)

Heterogeneities of biological tissues can strongly affect light propagation at large depths by distorting the initial wavefront. Inspired by previous works in acoustics, we have developed a matrix approach to Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography (FF-OCT) to push back the fundamental limit of aberrations and multiple scattering. An analysis of the correlations of the matrix allows to correct for aberrations and forward multiple scattering over multiple isoplanatic areas (contrary to classic adaptive optics). Here, we report on the application of this approach to the imaging of the monkey cornea and the quantitative measurement of the corneal transparency.
