Abstract
A novel polarization state tracing algorithm has been proposed to visualize depth-resolved birefringent information by using the polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography (PSOCT) system. This algorithm is compatible to the widely adopted single input PSOCT system which uses only one circularly polarized incident light. We demonstrate the ability of this method to visualize depth-resolved myocardial architecture in both healthy and infarcted rodent hearts (ex vivo) and collagen structures responsible for skin tension lines at various anatomical locations on the face of a healthy human volunteer (in vivo).
