We comment on the recent Letter by Jiao et al. [Opt. Lett. 28, 1206 (2003)] in which a polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography system was presented. Interrogating a sample with two orthogonal incident polarization states cannot always recover birefringence correctly. A previously presented fiber-based polarization-sensitive system was inaccurately characterized, and its method of eliminating the polarization distortion caused by single-mode optical fiber was presented earlier by Saxer et al. [Opt. Lett. 25, 1355 (2000)].
我们对焦等人最近发表在《光学快报》28卷，第1206页（2003年）上的信进行评论，其中介绍了一种偏振敏感光学相干断层扫描系统。用两个正交入射偏振态询问样品并不能总是正确地恢复双折射。之前提出的基于光纤的偏振敏感系统的特征描述不准确，其消除单模光纤引起的偏振失真的方法早由萨克瑟等人在《光学快报》25卷，第1355页（2000年）提出。
