Abstract: In a wavelength detector and an OCT including the same, the wavelength detector includes a wavelength filter by which at least one of the diffraction beams of a coherent input light is selected as a selection beam having a desired frequency by using a flat plate and at least a slit penetrating through the flat plate. The pixel having image data of an OCT image is mapped to the frequency of the selection beam by one to one, thereby improving uniformity of the resolution of the OCT image along a depth of the inspection object. The frequency of the selection beam is determined by an optical spectrum analyzer before initiating the OCT inspection to the object.
