An optical tomographic imaging apparatus capable of obtaining a high
resolution tomographic image rapidly. Light beams swept in wavelength
intermittently and repeatedly within first and second wavelength ranges
respectively are outputted simultaneously from a light source unit. If
the wavelength of either one of the light beams is within a fifth
wavelength range, the other light beam is not outputted. The first or
second wavelength range includes at least a portion of the fifth
wavelength range. Each light beam is split into measuring and reference
beams by a coupler. Wavelengths of reflected beams from a measuring
object when the measuring beams are irradiated on the object and the
reference beams are divided by a WDM coupler. The reflected beams and
reference beams are combined by an optical coupler, and each interference
beam produced thereby is detected with respect to each light beam as an
interference signal.
