Linear birefringence and optical activity are two common optical polarization effects present
in biological tissue, and determination of these properties has useful biomedical …

Although noninvasive, continuous monitoring of glucose concentration in blood and tissues
is one of the most challenging areas in medicine, a wide range of optical techniques has …

In this paper we provide evidence of the temporal fluctuations of the phase modulation
property of a liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) display, and we analyze its effect when the …

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 …

In one embodiment, the present invention operates on lightWave multi-spectral, multi-fusion,
multifunctional, Muller matrix/Stokes polarization parameters imaging prin ciples. It is …

In this paper we characterize the polarimetric properties of a liquid crystal on silicon display
(LCoS), including depolarization and diattenuation which are usually not considered when …

The various decompositions of depolarizing Mueller matrices into products of basic optical
devices, ie retarders, diattenuators and depolarizers, are critically revisited and discussed …

A product decomposition of a nondepolarizing Mueller matrix consisting of the sequence of
three factors—a first linear retarder, a horizontal or vertical" retarding diattenuator," and a …

A new Mueller polarimeter based on liquid crystals and a microscope objective is presented
for the characterization of diffraction gratings in a conical diffraction mounting. Fast …

The use of a combined spectral intensity and polarization signals optically scattered by
tissue to determine analyte concentration in optically clear and turbid biological media was …
