Abstract
This paper reports and discusses, we believe for the first time the achievement of laser absorption computed tomography for actual in vitro biological objects using Coherent Detection Imaging(CDI) method. This CDI scheme offers the feasible and reliable means for optical computer-assisted tomographic imaging based on the optical heterodyne technique with lasers that has very high sensitivity and excellent directivity to distinguish one specific direction from another in highly scattering absorptive media. We have experimentally demonstrated the fulfillment of three fundamental conditions for the establishment of laser absorption tomography to establish the CDC method.
