Abstract

We demonstrate full range imaging of polarization-sensitive swept-source optical coherence tomography (PS-SS-OCT) at 1 μm wavelength. Continuous source polarization modulation and BM-mode scan are applied simultaneously. The complex conjugate ambiguity is removed for both of the intensity and phase retardation images. Our method can extend the measurable depth range and improve the image quality of polarization-sensitive imaging of retina.
