Abstract
Multi-contrast jones matrix optical coherence tomography (JM-OCT) is demonstrated. JM-OCT provides not only the standard three-dimensional OCT but also the tomographies of attenuation coefficient (AC), birefringence, degree-of-polarization uniformity (DOPU), and OCT angiography. This talk briefly review the principle of JM-OCT, and then examples of in vivo skin imaging are shown. It is shown that the deep dermis has high birefringence, while the epidermis has low birefringence. A study about the relationship between the optical properties and the wrinkle morphology is also presented. It shows that the birefringence and DOPU at around 170-µm depth and the AC at around 250-µm depth significantly relate with the wrinkle morphology.
