偏振敏感光学相干断层扫描（PS-OCT）用于完全表征从混浊介质反向散射的光的偏振状态。使用低相干光源，可以确定反向散射光的斯托克斯参数作为混浊介质中光路的函数。为了演示该技术的应用，我们确定了纤维组织（啮齿动物肌肉）和体内啮齿动物皮肤的双折射和光轴。 PS-OCT 通过同时成像混浊生物材料的结构特性及其对反向散射光偏振态的影响，在生物医学光学中具有潜在的有用应用。该方法还可以在材料科学中找到应用，用于研究陶瓷和晶体等不透明介质中的偏振特性（例如双折射）。
Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) was used to characterize completely the polarization state of light backscattered from turbid media. Using a low-coherence light source, one can determine the Stokes parameters of backscattered light as a function of optical path in turbid media. To demonstrate the application of this technique we determined the birefringence and the optical axis in fibrous tissue (rodent muscle) and in vivo rodent skin. PS-OCT has potentially useful applications in biomedical optics by imaging simultaneously the structural properties of turbid biological materials and their effects on the polarization state of backscattered light. This method may also find applications in material science for investigation of polarization properties (e.g., birefringence) in opaque media such as ceramics and crystals.
