Polarized light point measurements and wide-field imaging have been studied for many
years in an effort to develop accurate and information-rich tissue diagnostic methods …

Complete determination of the polarization state of light requires at least four distinct
projective measurements of the associated Stokes vector. Stability of state reconstruction …

Partial Mueller matrix polarimeters (pMMPs) are active sensing instruments that probe a
scattering process with a set of polarization states and analyze the scattered light with a …

Active polarization imagers using liquid crystal variable retarders (LCVR) usually operate at
one given wavelength for the sake of polarimetric accuracy. However, this often requires to …

We obtain the universal evaluations and expressions of measuring uncertainty for all types
of rotating-element spectroscopic ellipsometers. We introduce a general data-reduction …

Polarimeters operate by making polarization-dependent alterations in the intensity of the
optical field. Modulated polarimeters introduce controlled fluctuations as a function of time …

Estimating the polarization of light has been shown to have merit in a wide variety of
applications between UV and LWIR wavelengths. These tasks include target identification …

In prior work, 1, 2 we introduced methods to treat channeled systems in a way that is similar
to Data Reduction Method (DRM), by focusing attention on the Fourier content of the …

Structural organization refers to the particular ordering of scatterers. Probing structural
organization by imaging polarized spectral scatter provides insight into the composition of a …

A complete and punctual Stokes polarimeter based on the conical refraction (CR)
phenomenon is presented. The CR phenomenon occurs when light travels along one of the …
