Tomography system and method of adjusting quality of image obtained by optical tomography system

摘要

In an optical tomography system, a polarization changing system which converts linearly polarized light too non-linearly polarized light is provided in at least one of a light source unit, an optical path from the light source unit to a light dividing system, the optical path of the measuring light from the light dividing system to an object, the optical path of the reflected light from the object to the combining system and the optical path of the reference light from the light dividing system to the combining system. The polarization changing system is, for instance, a polarization-preserving optical fiber which is disposed so that the direction of polarization of the linearly polarized light and the direction of axis of polarization of the linearly polarized light differ from each other.
