Abstract

We developed a fiber based ultra high resolution polarization sensitive spectral domain optical coherence tomography system. The system is based on polarization maintaining fibers and retrieves the backscattered intensity, birefringence and optic axis orientation with only one A-scan per measurement location. In addition a light source with a bandwidth of 100nm was implemented. The setup was used to image the polarization properties of the human retina.
