Abstract

An optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurement system for precision measurement of a translucent sample is provided. The system includes an optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging system comprising a broadband light source, a reference path with reference path length, and sample path with a beam scanning assembly and an imaging lens assembly; a sample positioning assembly including an immersion bath for positioning the translucent sample within an immersion bath; a position assembly for locating the translucent sample within a field of view (FOV) of the OCT imaging system; an immersion lens assembly associated with the imaging lens assembly configured to eliminate an air to bath refractive interface between a distal surface of the OCT imaging lens including an immersion tip and a surface of the bath; a first set of calibration parameters that relate a position of a scanning beam at an imaging plane to drive signals of the scanning assembly; and a second set of calibration parameters for relating an optical path length or optical path length variation of the scanning beam at an imaging plane to the position of the scanning beam or to the drive signals of the scanning assembly.
