Abstract
We demonstrate an ultra high speed fiber based polarization sensitive spectral domain optical coherence tomography system, using two ultra high speed CMOS line scan cameras. With this system an A-scan rate of up to 128 kHz was achieved. The system is based on polarization maintaining fibers and retrieves the backscattered intensity, retardation and optic axis orientation with only one A-scan per measurement location. This high speed data acquisition enables averaging of several acquired B-scans of intensity, retardation, optic axis orientation, and Stokes vectors, which strongly reduces speckle noise. We discuss different averaging techniques and compare the results in healthy human retinas.
