A polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography system based on heterodyning and filtering techniques is built to perform Stokesmetric imaging of different layers of depths in a porcine tendon sample. The complete 4\times4 backscattering Muellermetric images of one layer are acquired using such a system. The images reveal information indiscernible from a conventional OCT system.
