Polarization distortion in a beam splitter is a phenomenon where the polarization state of
output light deviates from the theoretical expectation, which is inevitable and will result in …

We present a novel depolarization metric for Mueller matrices based on the differential
Mueller formalism. The proposed metric relies on the statistical interpretation of the …

Optical characterization of biological tissues by means of polarimetric techniques is an area
of growing interest. Polarized light can be used for malignant neoplasms detection. To our …

The polarimetric entropy (H) and the alpha angle (α) are two important parameters for
analyzing polarimetric synthetic aperture radar data. However, for some special cases, the …

The optical properties of biological tissues under stretching are investigated using a full-field
ellipsometry technique based on a differential Mueller matrix formalism. Traditional …

This study deals with the polarimetric characterization of biological tissues based on the
Stokes–Mueller formalism. The optimal experimental conditions to study irradiated pig skin …

The ability to distinguish and characterize differences in the optical properties of biological
samples is crucial in various disease diagnosis applications. The present study investigates …

A depolarization scalar metric for Mueller matrices, named Q (M), is derived from the degree
of polarization. Q (M) has been recently reported, and it has been deduced from the nine …

Mueller matrix polarimetry is being increasingly applied to the biomedical field with the
purpose of obtaining microstructural information on biological samples such as tissues …

A method is proposed for characterizing the optical properties of articular cartilage sliced
from a pig's thighbone using a Stokes–Mueller polarimetry technique. The principal axis …
