Abstract
Conventional dual-input state PS-OCT incorrectly assumes that the two probing input states provide equally reliable measurements. In this work, we overcome this assumption by adapting a maximum-likelihood framework which combines all input state and spectral bin measurements to find the most likely sample Jones matrix. This processing method (MLDIPS) shows a significantly reduced retardance noise floor as well as improved qualitative characterization of white matter versus grey matter in porcine brain tissue, displaying better contrast to conventional dual-input processing.
