1. A method of optically imaging a sample utilizing a frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) system comprising a wavelength-swept light source, the method comprising:
illuminating the sample with a first portion of light emitted by the wavelength-swept light source;
illuminating a reference plane with a second portion of light emitted by the wavelength-swept light source;
shifting a frequency of at least one of the first portion of light or the second portion of light to define a sampling range including a set of frequencies; and
generating a displayed imaging range from the sampling range, the displayed imaging range comprising essentially of only a subset of the set of frequencies within the sampling range.
