Many polarisation techniques have been harnessed for decades in biological and clinical
research, each based upon measurement of the vectorial properties of light or the vectorial …

Multiple imaging modalities can be combined to provide more information about the real
world than a single modality alone. Infrared images discriminate targets with respect to their …

Polarized Light and Optical Systems presents polarization optics for undergraduate and
graduate students in a way which makes classroom teaching relevant to current issues in …

An Up-to-Date Compendium on the Physics and Mathematics of Polarization Phenomena
Now thoroughly revised, Polarized Light and the Mueller Matrix Approach cohesively …

Polarized light is a pervasive influence in our world—and scientists and engineers in a
variety of fields require the tools to understand, measure, and apply it to their advantage …

Imaging polarimetry has emerged over the past three decades as a powerful tool to enhance
the information available in a variety of remote sensing applications. We discuss the …

Recently, with the emergence of new light sources, polarization devices, and detectors,
together with a prominent increase in data processing capability, polarization techniques …

The first edition of this book concentrated on relating scatter from optically smooth surfaces
to the microroughness on those surfaces. After spending six years in the semiconductor …

This paper reviews the current status of instruments for measuring the full 4× 1 Stokes vector
S, which describes the state of polarization (SOP) of totally or partially polarized light, and …

A computer-controlled Mueller matrix polarimeter with dual rotating retarders is described.
Bulk properties of optical materials are determined by controlling the input-polarization state …
