The eVe dual-laser/dual-telescope lidar system is introduced here, focusing on the optical
and mechanical parts of the system's emission and receiver units. The compact design of the …

Liquid crystal variable retarders (LCVRs) are often used in Stokes polarimeters as they allow
the measurement of different polarization components by applying an electric field that …

A new spectrophotometric technique for the determination of both ordinary and extraordinary
complex refractive indices (CRIs) of a stretched polyethylene terephthalate (Mylar) film is …

Optical polarimetry has increased interest in probing finer details of soft tissue components
representing alterations during pathological tissue transformation. Stromal collagen, a …

Understanding microscale physiology and microstructural cellular features of the brain is key
to understanding mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases and injury, as well as …

Bidirectionality effects can be a significant confounding factor when measuring
hyperspectral reflectance data. The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) can …

We present a simple experiment developed for the advanced physics instructional
laboratory to calculate the Mueller matrix of a microscopic sample. The Mueller matrix is …

The separation of the combined effects of absorption and scattering in complex media is a
major issue for better characterization and prediction of media properties. In this study, an …

We have studied the basic polarization properties of variously shaped lenses for the on-axis
beam in the exit pupil and present the data obtained. The Mueller calculus and three …

A fluid that is composed of anisotropic particles may show birefringence when under the
effect of shear. This phenomenon is known as shear induced birefringence and it is of …
