Abstract

Optical diffraction tomography (ODT) is applied to reconstruct the cross-sectional, complex refractive index distribution of cylindrical objects. Experimental reconstructions showing noticeable image contrast for refractive index variations of about 0.001, and having a spatial resolution of about 2 μm, are obtained for objects with cross-sectional diameters of about 100 μm. The results demonstrate that ODT can be used for quantitative imaging of semitransparent fibers.
