Recent progress regarding shortwave-infrared (SWIR) molecular imaging technology has
inspired another modality of noninvasive diagnosis for early breast cancer detection in …

The description of adjustment of an imaging Stokes polarimeter constructed and tested in
our laboratory is presented. Our polarimeter's operation is based on six fast intensity …

Over the past decades, there has been a growing interest in dermal drug delivery. Although
various novel delivery devices and methods have been developed, dermal delivery is still …

Spontaneous symmetry breaking in J‐aggregates of cyanine dyes has a long history in
chemical literature. In 1976, Honda and Hada claimed that they had achieved chiral …

Radially symmetric retardance was found in antireflection coated, molded aspheric glass
lenses by measurement with a Mueller matrix imaging polarimeter. The source of the …

A simple partial Mueller polarimeter is described, consisting of two linear polarizers and two
liquid crystal variable retarders. The measurement leads to an incomplete Mueller–Scierski …

We have analyzed entropy properties of coherent and partially polarized light in an arbitrary
number of spatial dimensions. We show that for Gaussian fields, the Shannon entropy is a …

We address the problem of small-target detection with a polarimetric imager that provides
orthogonal state contrast images. Such active systems allow one to measure the degree of …

A discrete-component approach was taken to establish the operational feasibility of a novel,
imaging, midinfrared, multispectral, polarimetric sensor for remote-sensing application. The …

Herein, the ability to create arbitrarily patterned circular polarized optical devices is
demonstrated by using cholesteric liquid crystal polymer. Photoalignment with polarized …
