This study aims to develop an optical coherence-domain reflectometer for accurate birefringence characterization.
Developed a polarization-sensitive reflectometer for phase measurement in birefringent samples.
Characterized variations in birefringence with high sensitivity and resolution.
Demonstrated the device's application in various materials including wave plates and biological samples.
Achieved phase measurement accuracy of ±0.86° and distinguished birefringence variations as small as 0.05°.
Obtained a distance resolution of 10.8 μm and dynamic range of 90 dB, indicating robust performance.
Successfully applied the reflectometer in a calf coronary artery to illustrate practical medical applications.
