title = "Development of linearly polarized optical coherence tomography and the measurement on porcine tendon birefringence",
abstract = "A novel polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) using only linearly polarized light is proposed. To compare with conventional PS-OCT which use circular polarized incident light, linear PS-OCT shows three advantages: (1) in a turbid medium with linear birefringence, the degree of polarization of backscattered light for linearly incident light dose not change significantly; (2) Phase retardation (PR) of the sample can be obtained totally from the phase-difference between the polarization heterodyne signals, thus common phase noise rejection mode is introduced inherently. These advantages lead to the immunity of background phase noise and laser frequency noise simultaneously, and also lead to the better sensitivity of PR measurements; (3) the dynamic range of PR in this system is between 0° to 180°, which is two times larger than that of conventional circular PS-OCT.",
