Zusammenfassung:An optical coherence tomography (OCT) apparatus includes: a light source; an OCT optical system including: a first light splitter which splits light emitted from the light source into measurement and reference lights, a second light splitter which splits the measurement light into first and second beams, an optical delay path to generate an optical path length difference between the first and second beams, a scan optical system which scans the respective beams on an object to be examined in a transverse direction, a reference optical system, and a detector which receives a spectrum of composite light in which reflected lights of the first and second beams from the object, and the reference light from the reference optical system are combined; and an arithmetic controller which processes an interference signal output from the detector to obtain first and second tomographic images formed respectively by the first and second beams.
