M Number of repeated cycles in a repeat-cycle-set.
n Index of repeat-cycle-set.
k Total count of repeat-cycle-set (= m + M · n), which is counted from the beginning of the whole scan trajectory.
i Index of A-line in ascending order of acquisition time (= l + Lx · k).
z Index of pixel in an A-line.
p Index of polarization channel.
δ Number of A-lines during the margin between repeated cycles.

x(t), y(t) Standard Lissajous trajectory parameterized usin t.
t Time.
Ax, Ay Amplitudes of x- and y-scanning patterns, respectively.
