This tutorial-review introduces the fundamentals of polarized light interaction with biological
tissues and presents some of the recent key polarization optical methods that have made …

This book introduces some of the recent key developments in polarization optical methods
that have made possible the quantitative studies of tissues and biological cells essential to …

We report the depolarization of light scattered by a variety of birefringent and nonbirefringent
tissues. We used Stokes polarimetry to investigate how scatterer structures in each tissue …

We demonstrate significant differences in the propagation of polarized light through
biological tissue compared with two common tissue phantoms. Depolarization of linearly …

This chapter explains the polarized light fundamentals and mathematical formulations of
polarized light and its propagation in biological tissues. It introduces the Stokes Mueller …

Polarimetry has a long and successful history in various forms of clear media. Driven by their
biomedical potential, the use of the polarimetric approaches for biological tissue assessment …

We describe the use of degree of polarization to discriminate unscattered and weakly
scattered light from multiply scattered light in an optically turbid material. We use spatially …

The temporal profiles of the parallel and perpendicular polarization components of a light
pulse backscattered from a scattering medium are different. The depth of penetration into the …

Polarization‐based optical techniques have become increasingly popular in the field of
biomedical diagnosis. In the current report we exploit the directional awareness of circularly …

We analyze and experimentally test the concept of laser polarization biotissue probing. The
methods of increasing the SNR in coherent images of the optically anisotropic architectonics …
