In Fourier domain OCT, the depth profile is mirrored about the zero delay, limiting the imaging depth to half of the entire ranging space. We present a novel configuration for OCT to robustly remove the complex conjugate artifact. Our method utilizes the intrinsic delay of circularly polarized light in two polarization channels, using only passive broadband polarization optics and conventional polarization diversity detection unit. Our method is immune to sample motion and adds no restrictions to source bandwidth, imaging speed or computational load. 45 dB suppression of the mirror artifact is demonstrated by an SSOCT with some in-vivo images.
