We show number fluctuations dynamic light scattering Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) for measuring extremely slow, sub-diffusion flows of dilute particle suspensions. Our method removes the minimum measurable velocity limitation of conventional correlation-based or phase-resolved Doppler OCT, set by flowing particles’ Brownian motion. Our technique works for any Doppler angle, is applicable to 2D flow imaging with scanning OCT systems and can be used to determine concentration of particles under flow.
We show scanning dynamic light scattering optical coherence tomography (OCT) omnidirectional flow measurements. Our method improves the velocity measurement limit over conventional correlation-based or phaseresolved Doppler OCT by more than a factor of 2. Our technique is applicable without a-priori knowledge of the flow geometry as our method works both for non-zero Doppler angle and non-ideal scan alignment. In addition, the method improves the particle diffusion coefficient estimation for particles under flow.
