Fig. 2: Experimental setup for the wide-field reflection matrix optical coherence tomography to enhance the delivery of light energy deep in the sample.

The weak interference signal from mixing the reference arm (green arrow) and sample arm (purple arrow) is first improved using optical heterodyne detection and then recorded by the lock-in camera.
