Abstract
A time-domain or frequency domain system includes, a sample light path between a source interface and a detector interface, a reference light path between the source interface and the detector interface, and a photonic integrated circuit, wherein the reference light path is at least partially separate from the sample light path, wherein the sample light path includes a forward sample light path between the source interface and a sample interface, and a backward sample light path between the sample interface and the detector interface, wherein the forward sample light path and the backward sample light path are at least partially provided by the photonic integrated circuit, and wherein the photonic integrated circuit includes an integrated sample-side polarization beam splitter arranged in the forward sample light path and the backward sample light path.
