DESCRIPTION:Ankündigung des Promotionsvortrags von: Frau Katharina Bl
 essing Driven by the idea of enabling non-invasive optical biopsies\, 
 optical coherence tomography (OCT) was successfully implemented in end
 oscopic systems. Cross-polarised (cp)OCT offers a compel-ling extensio
 n to conventional OCT\, adding the birefringence properties as additio
 nal contrast to the data. It suits to delineate different types of tis
 sue. In this thesis\, we present and compare four approaches to realis
 e cpOCT which are compatible with commercially available swept-source 
 en-gines independent of the source&#8217\;s polarization state. Datase
 ts are acquired simultaneously\, yield-ing depth-encoded images. Inspi
 red by a benchtop approach\, we develop two endoscopic com-mon-path sy
 stems. Both systems operate fully independently of illumination&#8217\
 ;s polarisation. In addi-tion to these imaging modules which generate 
 orthogonal polarisation states in free-space\, we present a full-fibre
  approach. A novel monolithic mirror-based probe design enables the en
 doscop-ic integration. This design resolves the typical trade-off betw
 een resolution enhancement and sen-sitivity which is encountered in th
 is type of probes. The corresponding publication presents a proof-of-p
 rinciple. For in-vivo use\, we suggest a manufacturing protocol for a 
 side-viewing variant. In conclusion\, we present and compare four inno
 vative and surprisingly simple cpOCT approaches compatible with swept-
 source engines. Targeting miniaturised endoscopic systems\, we present
  a flexible common-path probe (CPP) design. Combined with the independ
 ence from the illumina-tion&#8217\;s polarisation state\, the endoscop
 ic systems enable robust and shock-insensitive data acquisi-tion. (Vor
