A high resolution spectral-domain optical coherence tomography system with a thermal light source was introduced. The ratio of the ideal spectral density calculated with Gaussian function to the actual spectral density measured by spectrometer was used to obtain the calibration coefficient of different wavelength. The ideal interference spectrum after calibration was obtained once multiplying the coefficient by the measured interference spectrum. The experiment result shows that the one-dimensional scattering potential gets sharper
the peaks are heightened and the axial resolution of the system is improved by Gaussian calibration. In addition
the image quality is improved and the film boundary of the sample becomes clear. Thus
broadband thermal light source is suitable for high-resolution spectral-domain optical coherence tomography system.
