The ability to record sub-pixel movements in samples under dynamic conditions was also assessed. The OCE system has a time stability of 396.9 ± 46.7 ps. The phase stability, given by the standard deviation of the measured phase difference, was 72.44 mrad, which corresponds to a minimum detectable displacement of 6.11 nm. Tests showed that the OCE system can detect and measure sub-pixel movements in samples under dynamic mechanical excitation.engOptical coherence elastographySwept-source OCTPhase stabilizationjournal article10.5220/0011126500003209
