Many polarisation techniques have been harnessed for decades in biological and clinical
research, each based upon measurement of the vectorial properties of light or the vectorial …

Polarization, the path traced by light's electric field vector, appears in all areas of optics. In
recent decades, various technologies have enabled the precise control of light's polarization …

INTRODUCTION Polarization describes the path along which light's electric field vector
oscillates. An essential quality of electromagnetic radiation, polarization is often omitted in its …

We present a method allowing for the imposition of two independent and arbitrary phase
profiles on any pair of orthogonal states of polarization—linear, circular, or elliptical—relying …

Polarized Light and Optical Systems presents polarization optics for undergraduate and
graduate students in a way which makes classroom teaching relevant to current issues in …

The vector characteristics of light and the vectorial transformations during its transmission
lay a foundation for polarized photodetection of objects, which broadens the applications of …

Polarized light is a pervasive influence in our world—and scientists and engineers in a
variety of fields require the tools to understand, measure, and apply it to their advantage …

Imaging polarimetry has emerged over the past three decades as a powerful tool to enhance
the information available in a variety of remote sensing applications. We discuss the …

Polarization-based imaging can provide new diagnostic capabilities in clinical and
preclinical studies. Various methodologies of increasing complexity have been proposed by …

In-line polarimeters perform nondestructive polarization measurements of optical signals,
and play a critical role in monitoring and controlling the polarization environment in, for …
