Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a widely used optical imaging modality for three-dimensional structural and functional imaging. The prevalent OCT systems use an invisible light laser source beyond 800 nm and up to 1 500 nm to allow deep image penetration in biological tissues. Recently, visible light OCT (vis-OCT) using a short wavelength range between 400 nm to 700 nm has gained significant progress and attracted interest in its unique capability of high resolution imaging and spatially-resolved spectroscopy. In this article, we will briefly review the recent advance of vis-OCT imaging and its potential biomedical applications.
