[EN] Disclosed are methods and an assembly for robust one-shot interferometry, in particular for optical coherence tomography according to the spatial domain approach (SD-OCT) and/or according to the light-field approach. In one embodiment, the method and the assembly may be used for measurements on material and living tissue, for distance measurement, for 2D or 3D measurement with a finely structured light source imaged onto the object in a diffraction-limited way, or with spots thereof. The assembly may comprise an interferometer having object and reference arms and a detector for electromagnetic radiation. In other embodiments, during a detection process, a plurality of spatial interferograms may be formed by making an inclined and/or curved reference wavefront interfere with an object wavefront for each measurement point. The resulting spatial interferograms may be detected in a single detector frame and may be further evaluated via a computer program. |
