      Melanin concentration and depolarization metrics measurement by polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography
      Imaging of melanin in the eye is important as the melanin is structurally associated with some ocular diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration. Although optical coherence tomography (OCT) cannot distinguish tissues containing the melanin from other tissues intrinsically, polarization-sensitive OCT (PS-OCT) can detect the melanin through spatial depolarization of the backscattered light from the melanin granules. Entropy is one of the depolarization metrics that can be used to detect malanin ...

      Usefulness of Polarization-sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography-derived Attenuation-coefficient Images to Visualize the Internal Structure of the Filtering Bleb
      Purpose/Aim of the study Polarization-sensitive anterior-segmental optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) is useful to evaluate the filtering blebs after trabeculectomy. However, the attenuation phenomenon of OCT signal disturbs the visibility of intra-blebs structure and distribution of birefringence; a specific parameter of PS-OCT. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the attenuation-coefficient image of the filtering blebs. Materials and methods This study included 25 eyes 6 months after TLE. The ...

      Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography for estimating relative melanin content of autologous induced stem-cell derived retinal pigment epithelium
      Transplantation of autologous human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelial (hiPSC-RPE) sheets is a promising therapy for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). As melanin content is a representative feature of healthy RPE, we used polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) to estimate the relative melanin content of RPE in diseased and non-diseased area, and in human iPSC-RPE sheets in vitro and in vivo by evaluating the randomness of polarization (entropy). Two ...

      Parallel detection of Jones-matrix elements in polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography
      The polarization properties of a sample can be characterized using a Jones matrix. To measure the Jones matrix without assumptions of the sample, two different incident states of polarization are usually used. This requirement often causes certain drawbacks in polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT), e.g., a decrease in the effective A-scan rate or axial depth range, if a multiplexing scheme is used. Because both the A-scan rate and axial ...

      Estimation of Jones matrix, birefringence and entropy using Cloude-Pottier decomposition in polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography
      Estimation of polarimetric parameters has been a fundamental issue to assess biological tissues that have form birefringence or polarization scrambling in polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT). We present a mathematical framework to provide a maximum likelihood estimation of the target covariance matrix and its incoherent target decomposition to estimate a Jones matrix of a dominant scattering mechanism, called Cloude-Pottier decomposition, thereby deriving the phase retardation and the optic axis of ...

      Non-invasive assessment of corneal crosslinking changes using polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography
      Collagen crosslinking (CXL) has shown promising results in the prevention of the progression of keratoconus and corneal ectasia. However, techniques for in vivo and in situ assessment of the treatment are limited.
