We present a theoretical and experimental study of radially symmetric aberration caused by
the differential transmission and phase shift of p-and s-polarized components of an axial …

Techniques for the partial or complete determination of the Mueller matrix of elastic light
scattering by a given samples are reviewed. Important developments include several …

The review presents both new theoretical and practical results of the application of modern
physical methods and technologies in agriculture. Physical technologies and materials for …

A two-dimensional birefringence measurement method is described. In this procedure, we
send light through a rotatable linear polarizer and subsequently through a transparent and …

Tissue birefringence is an intrinsic marker of potential value for cancer diagnosis.
Traditionally, birefringence properties have been studied by using intensity-based …

We present developments using photo-aligned liquid crystal polymers for creating vortex
retarders, halfwave retarders with a continuously variable fast axis. Polarization properties of …

An imaging polarimeter using liquid-crystal variable retarders (Bueno, JM, Artal, P.(1999).
Double-pass imaging polarimetry in the human eye. Optics Letters, 24, 64–66) has been …

Statistical Processing Techniques for Noisy Images presents a statistical framework to
design algorithms for target detection, tracking, segmentation and classification …

A robust way of measuring the optical properties of any material is to interrogate it with light
of different polarizations. The 16-element Mueller matrix provides the most complete …

As for optical techniques, it is difficult for the 5-aminolevulinic (5-ALA) fluorescence guidance
technique to completely detect glioma due to residual cells in the blind area and the dead …
