ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for determining a polarization-insensitive interferometric signal and a birefringence for a sample and methods for using such an apparatus to characterize the sample are proved herein. Such apparatuses may generally be designed to eliminate birefringence associated with the apparatus itself, collect data from the sample using light in both orthogonal states, and determine the interference birefringence associated with the collected data.
