چکیده
We present a polarization-sensitive full-field optical coherence tomography system that can produce high-resolution images of the linear retardance and reflectivity properties of biological media. En face images can be delivered at a frame rate of 3.5 Hz by combination of interferometric images acquired by two CCD cameras in an interference microscope illuminated with a tungsten halogen lamp. Isotropic spatial resolution of approximately 1.0 microm is achieved. The technique is demonstrated on ex vivo muscle tissues.

Full-field birefringence imaging by thermal-light polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography. I. Theory.
A method for measuring birefringence by use of thermal-light polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography is presented. The use of thermal light brings to polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography a resolution in the micrometer range in three dimensions. The instrument is based on a Linnik interference microscope and makes use of achromatic quarter-wave plates. A mathematical r...
متن کاملFull-field birefringence imaging by thermal-light polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography. II. Instrument and results.
We describe an instrument for measuring the magnitude of birefringence of tomographic images and the principal directions of axes that use thermal-light polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography. The instrument permits full-field measurements with an axial resolution of 1.5 microm and a transverse resolution limited by diffraction. We obtained a sensitivity of 84 dB, limited by shot n...
متن کاملSpectroscopic polarization-sensitive full-field optical coherence microscopy
Full-field optical coherence tomography (FF-OCT) is a recent optical imaging technology based on low-coherence interference microscopy for imaging of semi-transparent samples with ~1 μm spatial resolution. FF-OCT produces en-face tomographic images obtained by arithmetic combination of interferometric images acquired by an array camera. In this paper, we demonstrate a unique multimodal FF-OCT s...
متن کاملSingle camera spectral domain polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography using offset B-scan modulation.
We report a simple implementation to acquire spectral domain polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PSOCT) using a single camera. By combining a dual-delay assembly in the reference arm and offset B-scan in the sample arm, the orthogonal vertical- and horizontal-polarized images were acquired in parallel and spatially separated by a fixed distance in the full range image space. Th...
متن کاملThe inverse scattering problem for orthotropic media in polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography
In this paper we provide for a first time, to our knowledge, a mathematical model for imaging an anisotropic, orthotropic medium with polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography. The imaging problem is formulated as an inverse scattering problem in three dimensions for reconstructing the electrical susceptibility of the medium using Maxwell's equations. Our reconstruction method is base...
