Abstract: Polarization-sensitive optical coherence devices for obtaining birefringence information are presented. The polarization state of the optical radiation outgoing from the optical radiation source is controlled such that the polarization state of the optical radiation incident on a sample has a 45 degrees angle with respect to the anisotropy axis of the sample. A combination optical radiation is produced in a secondary interferometer by combining a sample portion with a reference portion of optical radiation reflected from a tip of an optical fiber of the optical fiber probe. Subject to a preset optical path length difference of the arms of the secondary interferometer, a cross-polarized, and/or a parallel-polarized component of the combined optical radiation, are selected. Time domain and frequency domain registration are provided. The performance of the device is substantially independent from the orientation of the optical fiber probe with respect to the sample.

Abstract: Polarization sensitive common path OCT/OCR devices are presented. Optical radiation from a source is converted into two cross-polarized replicas propagating therethrough with a predetermined optical path length difference. The two cross-polarized replicas are then delivered to an associated sample by a delivering device, which is, preferably, an optical fiber probe. A combination optical radiation is produced in at least one secondary interferometer by combining a corresponding portion of an optical radiation returning from the associated sample with a reference optical radiation reflected from a tip of an optical fiber of the optical fiber probe. Subject to a preset optical path length difference of the arms of the at least one secondary interferometer, a cross-polarized component, and/or a parallel-polarized component of the combined optical radiation, are selected. The topology of the devices allows for time domain, as well as for frequency domain registration.
