We highlight the interest of using the indices of polarimetric purity (IPPs) to the inspection of
biological tissues. The IPPs were recently proposed in the literature and they result in a …

We have developed a polarization microscope based on a commercial transmission
microscope. We replace the halogen light source by a collimated LED light source module of …

The calibration of the polarization effect of a high-numerical-aperture (high-NA) objective
lens (OL) is of great significance for high-precision polarized light micro-imaging. In this …

We demonstrate the creation of a vector beam by tailoring geometric phase of left-and right-
circularly polarized beams. Such a vector beam with a uniform phase has not been …

In this article, we explore the potential of an original label-free Near-Infrared (NIR) imaging
technique, based on Mueller Matrix decomposition reflectance, for efficient detection and …

Data products from high spectral resolution astronomical polarimeters are often limited by
fringes. Fringes can skew derived magnetic field properties from spectropolarimetric data …

The elements of the coherency matrix give the strength of the components of a Mueller
matrix in the coherency basis. The Z-matrix (called the polarization-coupling matrix or state …

A numerical study is carried out to find the experimental conditions necessary for the
eigenvalue calibration procedure to work correctly in a liquid-crystal variable-retarder-based …

We propose a Stokes polarimetry system containing a twisted hybrid aligned nematic (HAN)
liquid crystal (LC) cell as a simple and compact polarimetry setup that can function without …

This study is concerned with the design of a Mueller imaging polarimeter for the visualization
of spatially varying Mueller matrix fields. A simplified calibration procedure is advocated …
