The potential for improving the penetration depth of optical coherence tomography systems
by using light sources with longer wavelengths has been known since the inception of the …

A 220 nm bandwidth supercontinuum source in the two-micron wavelength range has been
developed for use in a Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT) system. This …

In the last 10 years, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has been successfully applied to
art conservation, history and archaeology. OCT has the potential to become a routine non …

Calcium oxalates are insoluble colorless or whitish salts constituting noble patina, on both
natural and artificial stone artworks' surfaces, the presence of which is extremely valued. The …

We report more than two octave spanning mid-IR flat-top supercontinuum (SC) generation
using all normal As2S5-borosilicate hybrid photonic crystal fiber. Our design is based on a …

Recent developments and commercial availability of low-noise and bright infrared (IR)
supercontinuum sources initiated intensive applied research in the last few years. Covering …

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution three-dimensional imaging
technique that enables nondestructive measurements of surface and subsurface …

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was first time reported as a tool for examination of
cultural heritage objects in 2004. It is mainly used for the examination of subsurface structure …

We have demonstrated for the first time, to our knowledge, the use of optical coherence
tomography (OCT) as an analytical tool for nondestructively characterizing the individual …

The cleaning of painted artworks, ie the critical operation whereby materials are selectively
removed from a painted surface by partial thinning or complete elimination of varnish, is one …
