The algebraic methods for serial and parallel decompositions of Mueller matrices are
combined in order to obtain a general framework for a suitable analysis of polarimetric …

A system, process and software arrangement are provided to determining data associated
with at least one structural change of tissue. In particular, a first optical coherence …

Exemplary embodiments of apparatus and method according to the present disclosure are
provided. For example, an apparatus for providing electromagnetic radiation to a structure …

Six out of seven crystal systems are optically anisotropic and birefringent. We review recent
insight that biaxial crystals generally exhibit four singular axes (or exceptional points) which …

The depolarization properties of a medium with associated Mueller matrix M are
characterized through two complementary sets of parameters, namely 1) the three indices of …

Method, apparatus and arrangement according an exemplary embodiment of the present
invention can be provided for generating an image of at least one portion of an anatomical …

We give a general introduction into polarized imaging and report on a Jones-pupil approach
for a complete evaluation of the resulting optical performance. The Jones pupil assigns a …

The degree of polarimetric purity of a Mueller matrix, also called “depolarization index”[Opt.
Acta 33, 185 (1986)] is expressed as a quadratic average of two contributions of different …

A novel technique for increasing the sensitivity of tilted fibre Bragg grating (TFBG) based
refractometers is presented. The TFBG sensor was coated with chemically synthesized silver …

Exemplary method, apparatus and arrangement can be provided for obtaining information
associated with a sample such as a portion of an anatomical structure. The information can …
