Polarization sensitive corneal and anterior segment swept-source optical coherence tomography

We develop a compact polarization sensitive corneal and anterior segment swept-source optical coherence tomography (PS-CAS-OCT) for evaluating the usefulness of PS-OCT, and enabling large scale studies in the tissue properties of normal and diseased eyes using the benefits of the PS-OCT, which provides better tissue discrimination compared to the conventional OCT by visualizing the fibrous tissues in the anterior eye segment. Our polarization-sensitive interferometer is size reduced into a 19 inch box for the portability and the probe is integrated into a position adjustable scanning head for the usability of our system.
