Abstract:
This disclosure relates to an OCT apparatus configured to generate to electromagnetic (e.g., optical) signals having two different polarization states. Two or more silicon optical amplifiers (SOAs) can be configured to maintain a respective polarization state in an optical input signal provided from a light source (e.g., a broadband light source). The different polarization states can be combined by an optical combiner (e.g., a polarization maintaining fiber coupler) and provided to drive a reference arm and a sample arm implemented in an OCT system.

Claim (Index 6):
An OCT system comprising:\n the apparatus of  claim 5 ; an optical combiner beam splitter/combiner configured to receive the aggregate polarized optical signal and provide a portion of the aggregate polarized optical signal to a reference arm and another portion of the aggregate polarized optical signal to a sample arm; an optical detector to receive signals from each of the reference arm and the sample arm and to provide a detector signal based on reflected signals in each of the reference arm and the sample arm; and a processor programmed to calculate at least one optical property for a sample associated with the sample arm based on the detector signal.
