Dispersive Coherence Spectrotomography with White-Light Continuum

We propose dispersive coherence spectrotomography with white-light continuum to extract both range and spectral properties inside a medium. The main feature is that the dispersive coherence spectrotomography has a high dynamic range in depth and high signal-to-noise ratio making the most of the extreme brightness of the white-light continuum.
