Measurement and imaging of birefringence and optic axis orientation by phase resolved polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography
Open accessAbstract
We present an improved method of polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography that enables measurement and imaging of backscattered intensity, birefringence, and fast optic axis orientation simultaneously with only one single A-scan per transverse measurement location. While intensity and birefringence data are obtained in a conventional way, the optic axis orientation is determined from the phase difference recorded in two orthogonal polarization channels. We report on accuracy and precision of the method by measuring birefringence and optic axis orientation of well defined polarization states in a technical object and present maps of birefringence and, what we believe for the first time, of optic axis orientation in biological tissue.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
