Abstract

The OCT apparatus includes a first light source unit changing an optical wavelength, a second light source unit changing an optical wavelength over a wavelength range different from and partially overlapping with that of the first light source unit, a signal generating unit receiving light from the light source units to generate signals at an equal wave number interval, an interference optical system splitting the light from the first and second light source units into illumination light illuminating an object and reference light, to generate first and second interference light, a light detecting unit receiving interference light, and an information acquiring unit acquiring a tomographic image of the object by linking temporal waveforms of intensities of the first and second interference light. The information acquiring unit links the temporal waveforms of the intensities of the first and second interference light based on the signal generated from the signal generating unit.
