Abstract

In an optical tomographic imaging apparatus, a wavelength of a light beam emitted from the light source is selected by a light source section filter, and the light beam emitted from the light source is split into a measurement light beam and a reference light beam. The measurement light beam is reflected from a measurement subject when the measurement light beam is irradiated, is amplified. A specific wavelength from the amplified reflected light beam is selected by an amplifying section filtering mechanism having a filter characteristic identical to a time variation characteristic of the light source section filter, and then the reflected light beam is multiplexed with the reference light beam. A tomographic image of the measurement subject is acquired from detection result of an interference light beam between the reflected light beam and the reference light beam which have been multiplexed.
