Polarization preservation in diffusive scattering from in vivo turbid biological media: effects of tissue optical absorption in the exact backscattering direction

IA Vitkin, RCN Studinski - Optics communications, 2001 - Elsevier
There is considerable recent interest in using polarized light to investigate turbid biological
media. Although tissue multiple scattering randomizes incident polarization states, there are …

Polarization discrimination of coherently propagating light in turbid media

V Sankaran, K Schönenberger, JT Walsh Jr… - Applied …, 1999 - opg.optica.org
We describe the use of degree of polarization to discriminate unscattered and weakly
