The inverse scattering problem for orthotropic media in Polarization-sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography

In this paper we provide a mathematical model for imaging an anisotropic, orthotropic medium with Polarization-Sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography (PS-OCT). The imaging problem is formulated as an inverse scattering problem in three dimensions for reconstructing the electrical susceptibility of the medium using Maxwell's equations. Our reconstruction method is based on the second-order Born-approximation of the electric field.
