By time gating with ultrafast optical pulses, we improve optical coherence tomography imaging contrast by 29 dB in a model  system. In parallel work, we exploit OCT as an in situ diagnostic for ultrafast laser micromachining, to image sample morphology changes on microsecond timescales in real time.
