Abstract

For the simulation of Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) images, analytical solutions of Maxwell’s equations for single and multiple cylinder scatterers are presented. With the angular spectrum of plane waves, a Gaussian beam is implemented to scan the cylinder samples. Two-dimensional B-scans are simulated and the origins of the signals are discussed. For an incident plane wave, a line scan is shown for single and multiple scattering.
