Conventional methods of spectroscopic Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) determine depth-resolved spectra. Here, we present a spectroscopic method of assessing hemoglobin in OCT which, rather than determine a depth-resolved spectrum, determines a depth-resolved autocorrelation function. This complex-valued autocorrelation function is then fit with a model that incorporates the spectral absorption characteristics of different chromophores present in tissue. The proposed method does not use windowed Fourier transforms of the OCT data, and is well-suited for assessing chromophores in dynamic scattering environments such as blood vessels. The new autocorrelation spectroscopy method is compared against the conventional windowed Fourier transform method in the retina.
