Polarization-Sensitive OCT Imaging: Background and Applications

This presentation will cover the basics of Polarization-Sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography (PS-OCT) and the unique advantages of Thorlabs' Telesto™ PS-OCT systems. These systems not only make PS-OCT accessible to customers unfamiliar with system design, but also enable experienced users to renew their focus on what is important experimentally. We will demonstrate the benefits of PS-OCT over conventional OCT, and how these can be important in certain applications.
