Polarization gratings: design and applications

G Cincotti - IEEE journal of quantum electronics, 2003 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Polarization gratings are nondepolarizing polarization elements that alter the polarization
state of the transmitted light in a periodic way, yielding a polarization-dependent diffraction …

Endless polarization control algorithm using adjustable linear retarders with fixed axes

M Martinelli, RA Chipman - Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2003 - opg.optica.org
New designs are presented for polarization-transforming elements equivalent to rotating

Linear calibration and reconstruction techniques for channeled spectropolarimetry

DS Sabatke, AM Locke, EL Dereniak, RW McMillan - Optics express, 2003 - opg.optica.org
Channeled spectropolarimetry is a novel method of measuring the spectral and polarization
content of light. It employs amplitude modulation to encode all four Stokes component …

Theoretical model of the polarization properties of the retinal nerve fiber layer in reflection

XR Huang, RW Knighton - Applied optics, 2003 - opg.optica.org
In several optical technologies for glaucoma diagnosis, polarized light is used to assess the
retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) of the eye. For better understanding of the polarization …

Aberro-pola riscope for the human eye

JM Bueno, E Berrio, P Artal - Optics letters, 2003 - opg.optica.org
We have developed an aberro-polariscope that simultaneously measures spatially resolved
polarization properties and wave-front aberration in a living human eye. The setup consists …

Structure of deterministic Mueller matrices and their reconstruction in the method of three input polarizations

Interpretation of Mueller matrix images based on polar decomposition and statistical discriminators to distinguish skin cancer

JR Chung, AH DeLaughter, JS Baba… - Laser-Tissue …, 2003 - spiedigitallibrary.org
The Mueller matrix describes all the polarizing properties of a sample, and therefore the
optical differences between cancerous and non-cancerous tissue should be present within …

Optical properties filtering using Mueller's formalism: application to laser imaging

S Guyot, C Vézien, B Clairac, B Fontas - Optik, 2003 - Elsevier
This paper explains a new method of extracting polarimetric data from a Mueller matrix.
Indeed, the main difficulty of this formalism lies in the extraction of the polarimetric …
