Abstract

In this paper we attempted to simulate the macroscopic light scattering phenomenon of optical coherence tomography. Numerical solutions of Maxwell’s equations were computed to accurately account for phase and amplitude of light. According to the simulation results, the qualitative and quantitative characterization may provide important information for future development of this technique, especially on the index mapping of biological cells.
