This book combines, for the first time, the topics of radar polarimetry and interferometry. This
combination was first developed in 1997 and has since become a major topic in radar …

A product decomposition of a depolarizing Mueller matrix consisting in the sequence of five
factors—a diagonal depolarizer stacked between two retarder and diattenuator pairs—is …

The Mueller matrix represents the transfer function of an optical system in its interactions
with polarized light and its elements relate to specific biologically or clinically relevant …

We report the potential of Mueller decomposition images to discriminate the normal against
the dysplastic (precancerous) states in cervical tissue. It is observed that in the epithelium …

The purpose of this paper is to discuss two polarimetric parameters which are widely used in
synthetic aperture radar (SAR) polarimetry, namely, target entropy and alpha angle. We …

Determination of the intrinsic polarization properties of a complex turbid medium such as
biological tissue in the backscattering geometry (a geometry that is convenient for in situ …

It is well‐known that circular dichroism (CD) measurements of anisotropic media may
contain artifacts that result from mixed linear anisotropies. Such artifacts are generally …

We demonstrate the first in vivo use of a Mueller matrix decomposition method for
polarization-based characterization of tissue. Collagenase is injected into a region of dermal …

We propose a new algorithm, the pseudopolar decomposition, to decompose a Jones or a
Mueller-Jones matrix into a sequence of matrix factors: J≅ J_RJ_DJ_1CJ_2C or M≅ …

In this paper we experimentally analyze the performance of a twisted nematic liquid crystal
on silicon (LCoS) display as a function of the angle of incidence of the incoming beam …
