Abstract
We present a method for determining the optical and thermal properties of layered materials, applicable to retinal laser therapy, using phase-resolved OCT. Transient heating of a tissue phantom is achieved by focusing a laser pulse onto a buried absorbing layer. Optical path length changes between the top of the phantom and the scattering absorbing layer induced by material expansion are extracted from the sequential B-scans. The absorption coefficient, heat conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient of the polymer are determined by matching the experimental data to a thermomechanical model of the tissue, yielding a temperature precision <2%, well below damage threshold.
