Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy (DCS) is an emerging technique capable of measuring cerebral dynamics. To obtain a reliable blood flow index (BFi), DCS often collaborates with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to provide measurements of static optical properties of tissue. The integration of these two techniques into a single modality has been a subject of ongoing research interest. While dual-comb spectroscopy offers a promising solution, it is often impeded by high costs and complex instrumentation. In this study, we present an innovative approach that employs a single-cavity free-running dual-comb source and balanced detectors to construct two Mach-Zehnder interferometers. Our results indicate that, even in the absence of feedback control loops and single-photon detectors, both static and dynamic properties of bio-phantoms can be simultaneously measured. This approach holds the potential to offer a simplified, cost-effective solution for DCS, NIRS, and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
