Abstract

SIGNIFICANCE: Current methods for complex conjugate removal (CCR) in frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) often require additional hardware components, which increase system complexity and cost. A software-based solution would provide a more efficient and cost-effective alternative.
