Embodiments include apparatuses and methods for spectral domain polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography including a reference assembly for detection of the polarization sensitive spectral interferograms formed by vertically and horizontally polarized beam components. Interference signals between the reference and sample beams may be modulated at a constant frequency.
