Improving the efficiency of optical coherence tomography by using the non-ideal behaviour of a polarising beam splitter
We present a new way of improving the efficiency of optical coherence tomography by using the polarisation crosstalk of a polarising beam splitter to direct most of the available source optical power to the sample. The use of a quarter wave plate in both the reference and the sample arms allows most...
