Spectral resolution is a crucial parameter in spectral / Fourier domain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). The sensitivity roll-off is determined by the spectral resolution, while depth-dependent axial resolution changes are caused by spectral resolution variations with wavelength. Currently, spectral resolution assessment is performed using either a narrow linewidth light source or broadband interferometry. Although commonly used, these methods require either additional components or time-consuming procedures. Here, we present a simple method to directly measure the spectral resolution at all wavelengths based on excess noise correlations. We apply this method to a visible light OCT system and validate it against interferometry.
