Non-linear phase dispersion spectroscopy (NLDS) is introduced as a means to retrieve wide-band, high spectral resolution profiles of the wavelength-dependent, real part of the refractive index. The method is based on detecting dispersion effects imparted to a light field with low coherence transmitted through a thin sample and detected interferometrically in the spectral domain. The same sampled signal is also processed to yield quantitative phase maps and spectral information regarding the total attenuation coefficient using spectral domain phase microscopy (SDPM) and spectroscopic optical coherence tomography (SOCT), respectively. Proof of concept experiments using fluorescent and non-fluorescent polystyrene beads, and another using a red blood cell demonstrate the ability of the method to quantify various absorptive/dispersive features. The increased sensitivity of this novel method is compared to intensity-based spectroscopy (e.g., SOCT) and potential applications are discussed.
