Optical polarizing thin film is an optical filter enables light waves of a specific polarization pass through while blocking light waves of other polarizations. Optical polarizing thin films control the brightness of back-light unit for LCD (liquid crystal display) panel, which is essential to produce LCD modules. Defect inspection of polarizing thin films is an important feature during the manufacturing process that is helpful to improve the product quality. In the current study, an automated defect inspection algorithm is introduced and incorporated with a well-known non-destructive and non-contact optical inspection method called spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) to pre-identify defective sub-surface as well as top-surface locations of optical polarizing thin films Polarizing thin films employed in this study consist of 6 layers. The tomographic information, layer information, and defective locations were sufficiently identified through the SD-OCT system owing high-axial resolution. The acquired results indicate the possible application of the proposed system in optical polarizing thin films for the quality assurance

Light is a transverse electromagnetic wave, which has the volatility and particles. When light waves are added up in the spatial uniform medium, different conditions will produce interference effects in the meeting area. Optical path difference affects the distribution of the interference pattern directly, and the light interference pattern gives information of phase and amplitude in turn. Due to the measurement precision and extremely high sensitivity of response, the principle of optical coherence has been studied based on measuring the related physical quantity indirectly.

Frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) uses infrared light waves, providing intracoronary images at a high resolution and enabling the characterization of the structure and extent of coronary artery disease in unprecedented detail. OCT can study plaque components such as fibrous tissue, calcium, and lipids with high accuracy. Furthermore, the technique is potentially able to depict inflammatory cells, crystals of cholesterol, and intimal vasculature, and can clarify the mechanism of acute coronary syndromes. OCT is therefore the most promising technique to study plaque vulnerability. FD-OCT, with its ability to distinguish fresh thrombus from other tissues, can also identify culprit lesions in patients with acute coronary syndromes. Some studies are encouraging the adoption of an OCT-guided approach of stent deployment, showing the superiority versus an angiography-guided strategy. The assessment of plaque composition pre-intervention is instrumental for device selection. Identification and quantification of calcium is key in deciding whether to perform direct stenting or to proceed with tissue ablation in the presence of massive calcifications. Furthermore, FD-OCT can be used to size stent length and diameter. After intervention, recent data established the OCT metrics to be adopted to fine-tune stenting procedures.
