The application of the technique of synthesis of optical coherence function for detection in scattering medium is investigated. By modulating the optical frequency, the technique synthesize the coherence function into a delta- function-like peak at an arbitrary location, and thus can detect interferometrically the information at that location. The location is adjustable by the modulation parameter or additional phase modulation. A multi-section super-structure grating distributed Bragg reflector laser diode of THz-order tunable range is employed to enhance the spatial resolution for suppression the multiple scattering form locations other than that detected. In a primary experimental demonstration, a reflectometry of 550 micrometers spatial resolution has been built up and was used to detect scattering medium.
