Abstract :

Photothermal Optical Coherence Tomography is an emerging functional imaging modality that combines the high spatial resolution of OCT with molecular specificity through photothermal contrast. However, PT-OCT signals typically require extensive temporal averaging to achieve adequate signal-to-noise ratios, limiting imaging speed and real-time applications. This work presents a novel one-dimensional Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (1D-SRGAN) that reconstructs full-length PT-OCT temporal responses (176 data points) from truncated initial signal segments (22 data points), achieving an 8× temporal super-resolution while preserving critical spectral characteristics at the modulation frequency. The proposed architecture employs a deep residual generator with skip connections and adversarial training, validated through comprehensive frequency-domain analysis. Statistical evaluation demonstrates significant improvement in signal reconstruction fidelity, with preserved modulation frequency characteristics and enhanced signal-to-noise ratios compared to conventional interpolation methods.
