Polarisation-sensitive optical coherence tomography

A polarisation-sensitive optical coherence tomography (OCT) system is disclosed comprising a frequency-swept light source (100) and a polarisation modulating arrangement (115). Preferably, the system comprises fibre-optic components. Also disclosed is a Jones matrix based analysis approach which com...

More Information
Summary:A polarisation-sensitive optical coherence tomography (OCT) system is disclosed comprising a frequency-swept light source (100) and a polarisation modulating arrangement (115). Preferably, the system comprises fibre-optic components. Also disclosed is a Jones matrix based analysis approach which compensates for polarisation effects created by the fibre-optic components of the OCT system.
