Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a subsurface imaging technique with many biomedical and industrial applications. In this thesis, we describe our design and implementation of a time domain OCT system. We used this system to obtain OCT images of objects that are important in different applications. We also used an existing quadrature OCT system to obtain both real and imaginary parts of an OCT image. We introduced a new interpretation of OCT images as the 2nd derivative of the scattering potential of an object. To obtain this scattering potential from its 2nd derivative, we implemented a method of definite integration in the spectral-domain. The obtained scattering potential was used to separate the scattering profile from the absorption profile of an object. We applied this new spectroscopic imaging method to quadrature OCT images of different objects.
