An experimental Mueller matrix polarimeter is used to quantify human liver fibrosis by
measuring retardance and depolarization of thin biopsies. The former parameter is sensitive …

A C-plate compensator is disclosed for compensating the residual A-plate and C-plate
retardance of a reflective liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) display or a transmissive liquid …

One hundred years ago Michelson discovered circular polarization in reflection from beetles.
Today a novel Mueller-matrix ellipsometry setup allows unprecedented detailed …

Development of methodologies for quantification/unique interpretation of the intrinsic
polarimetry characteristics of biological tissues are important for various applications …

We developed a four-channel photon counting based Stokes-polarimeter for spatial
characterization of polarization effects in second harmonic generation (SHG). We have …

Polarization measurements have become nearly indispensible in lidar cloud and aerosol
studies. Despite polarization's widespread use in lidar, its theoretical description has been …

It is shown that the Mueller matrix logarithm and the Mueller matrix roots decompositions
used for the extraction of the elementary polarization properties of a depolarizing medium …

An analytical technique based on Stokes polarimetry and the Mueller matrix method is
proposed for extracting the effective linear birefringence, linear dichroism, circular …

We present a quantitative study of depolarization in biological tissues and correlate it with
measured optical properties (reduced scattering and absorption coefficients). Polarized light …

Recently, an order-independent Mueller matrix decomposition was proposed in an effort to
elucidate the nine depolarization degrees of freedom [Handbook of Optics, Vol. 1 of Mueller …
