← ScienceWhich effect diminishes in OCT due to chromatic dispersion?
A)Axial resolution of scanned image✓
B)Signal-to-noise ratio of the device
C)Lateral resolution of the sample
D)Operating depth range extension
💡 Explanation
Limited **coherence length** from source dispersion causes decreased axial resolution because different wavelengths interfere destructively; therefore resolution reduces, rather than lateral changes associated with lens quality that define lateral resolution.
