In this article we present a detailed discussion of noise sources in Fourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (FDOCT) setups. The performance of FDOCT with charge coupled device (CCD) cameras is compared to current standard time domain OCT systems. We describe how to measure sensitivity in the case of FDOCT and confirm the theoretically obtained values. It is shown that FDOCT systems have a large sensitivity advantage and allow for sensitivities well above 80dB, even in situations with low light levels and high speed detection.

- Optical coherence tomography angiography (2017, background): “This can be translated into a 50 to 100 times increase in imaging speeds as compared with early time domain detection (Choma et al., 2003; de Boer et al., 2003; Leitgeb et al., 2003a).”
- Theory, developments and applications of optical coherence tomography (2005, background): “Therefore, the signal photocurrent can be written as (Leitgeb et al 2003a) is = ηqe h̄ω0 P, (43) where η the detector quantum efficiency, qe the electron charge, h̄ is Planck’s constant divided by 2π and ω0 is the source centre angular frequency.”
- Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (2018, neutral): “The first OCT system was based on TD technology, but this approach has lost importance because of lower scanning speed, related to the need of mechanically moving a mirror in the sample arm and lower sensitivity (Leitgeb et al., 2003).”
