Abstract

An Optical Low-Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a novel optical measurement technique, which enables non-destructive and non-contact investigation of multilayer structures. Nowadays, this method is highly applied in medical diagnostics. Despite of great progress in optoelectronics and optical measurement methods there is lack of studies on the OCT for non-medical application. In this paper authors present a laboratory OCT system for surface and subsurface investigation of scattering technical objects such as polymer layers. Preliminary test results on subsurface technical objects investigation using OCT system have been presented and discussed.
