Second-harmonic generation (SHG) double Stokes-Mueller polarimetric microscopy is
applied to study the alteration of collagen ultrastructure in a tissue microarray containing …

A dual-photoelastic-modulator-(PEM-) based spectropolarimetric camera concept is
presented as an approach for global aerosol monitoring from space. The most challenging …

In this paper we present the analysis, optimization and implementation of several Stokes
polarimeter configurations based on a set-up including two variable retarders. The …

This chapter explains the polarized light fundamentals and mathematical formulations of
polarized light and its propagation in biological tissues. It introduces the Stokes Mueller …

The review of optical instrumentation, forward modeling, and inverse problem solution for
the polarimetric aerosol remote sensing from space is presented. The special emphasis is …

Two single number metrics for depolarization of samples are contrasted:(1) the average
degree of polarization of the exiting light averaged over the Poincaré sphere and (2) the …

Liquid crystal photonic devices and microcavities filled with liquid crystal materials are
becoming increasingly popular. These devices often present a challenge when it comes to …

A goniometric optical scatter instrument has been developed at the National Institute of
Standards and Technology which can readily perform measurements of optical scatter and …

The main object of this chapter is to give an overview the possibilities offered by instruments
capable of measuring full Mueller matrices in the field of optical characterization. We have …

A new Mueller matrix polarimeter was used to image the retinas of normal subjects. Light
from a linearly polarized 780 nm laser was passed through a system of variable retarders …
