<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical tomographic imaging apparatus which can acquire a polarized OCT image and can acquire the OCT image fast. <P>SOLUTION: The optical tomographic imaging apparatus includes: a first splitting unit configured to split each of a first beam and a second beam into a reference beam and a measuring beam; an interference unit configured to obtain a first interference beam and a second interference beam by combining a return beam, obtained by irradiating an inspection object with the respective measuring beams split by the first splitting unit, with the corresponding reference beam, respectively; a second splitting unit configured to split the first interference beam into a third interference beam and a fourth interference beam; a selection unit configured to select either the second interference beam or the fourth interference beam; and an imaging unit configured to generate a tomographic image based on the third interference beam and the second interference beam, or the third interference beam and the fourth interference beam. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
