| Summary: | In this work, we report a method of removing scattering induced retardance in polarization sensitive full field optical coherence tomography (PS-FFOCT). First, the Mueller matrix that describes its operation is derived. The thickness invariant retardance induced by the scattering of collagenous fiber bundles is then used to find the accurate values of the birefringence of the layers that consist collagenous fibers. Finally, the initial en face birefringent images of in vitro beef tendon samples are presented to demonstrate the capability of our method. |
