Many polarisation techniques have been harnessed for decades in biological and clinical
research, each based upon measurement of the vectorial properties of light or the vectorial …

Polarimetry has a long and successful history in various forms of clear media. Driven by their
biomedical potential, the use of the polarimetric approaches for biological tissue assessment …

An Up-to-Date Compendium on the Physics and Mathematics of Polarization Phenomena
Now thoroughly revised, Polarized Light and the Mueller Matrix Approach cohesively …

Polarization is a fundamental property of light and a powerful sensing tool that has been
applied to many areas. A Mueller matrix is a complete mathematical description of the …

Identification of white matter fiber tracts of the brain is crucial for delineating the tumor border
during neurosurgery. A custom-built Mueller polarimeter was used in reflection configuration …

This work is devoted to a first exploration of Mueller polarimetric imaging for the detection of
residual cancer after neoadjuvant treatment for the rectum. Three samples of colorectal …

This article provides a brief overview of both established and novel ellipsometry techniques,
as well as their applications. Ellipsometry is an indirect optical technique, in that information …

The contrast mechanism of medical endoscopy is mainly based on metrics of optical
intensity and wavelength. As another fundamental property of light, polarization can not only …

Tissue polarimetric imaging measures Mueller matrices of tissues or Stokes vectors of the
emergent light from tissues (normally using incidence with a fixed polarization state) over a …

Methods are presented for optimizing the design of Mueller matrix polarimeters and and in
particular selecting the retardances and orientation angles of polarization components to …
