Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technique is a nondestructive optical detection technology based on low-coherence interferometer and it has become an attractive cultural heritage research method. A 1310 nm source spectral-domain coherence tomography (SD-OCT) system fiber Michelson spectrum analyzer proposed demonstrated for Chinese research. The cross-section OCT images of pigment samples jadeite can provide lot valuable microstructure information the identification works.
