A summary of OCT composition methods.

Composition method	Polarization artifact	Noise-offset	Equation
Standard PD-OCT (SPD)	No artifact	High offset	Eq. (9)
MAP PD-OCT (MPD)	No artifact	Low offset	Eq. (10)
Standard non-PD-OCT (SnPD)	With artifact	Moderate offset	Eq. (12)
MAP non-PD-OCT (MnPD)	With artifact	Very low offset	Eq. (13)
