Abstract

We present a simplified spectral-domain polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (SD-PS-OCT) setup with a spectrometer that employs only a single line scan camera. Unlike SD-PS-OCT systems reported so far, just one readout of a single line scan camera is necessary to gather information on sample reflectivity, retardation, and optic axis orientation for one A-line. Furthermore, spectrometer alignment and data acquisition synchronization are alleviated by the novel spectrometer design. First in-vivo PS-OCT images of human ocular tissue have been recorded to demonstrate the function of our setup.
