We developed a new fiber-based system for measuring light polarization changes in samples. This polarization-sensitive spectral interferometry technique offers depth-resolved analysis without needing polarization controls.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Biomedical Optics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Polarization-sensitive measurements are crucial for analyzing material properties.
  • Existing spectral interferometry systems often lack depth-resolved polarization analysis capabilities.
  • Characterizing polarization transformations in reflected light requires advanced instrumentation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel fiber-based single-channel polarization-sensitive spectral interferometry system.
  • To enable depth-resolved measurement of polarization transformations in light reflected from samples.
  • To provide a method for obtaining full Stokes parameters without prior polarization knowledge.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a fiber-based common-path spectral interferometer.
