Polarimetry has a long and successful history in various forms of clear media. Driven by their
biomedical potential, the use of the polarimetric approaches for biological tissue assessment …

Fluorescence intensity measurements have the potential to facilitate the diagnoses of many
pathological conditions. However, accurate interpretation of the measurements is …

This chapter explains the polarized light fundamentals and mathematical formulations of
polarized light and its propagation in biological tissues. It introduces the Stokes Mueller …

Cervical cancer is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer, with a lengthy latent period and
a gradual onset phase. Conventional techniques are found to be severely lacking in real …

We explore the use of Monte-Carlo-model-based approaches for the analysis of
fluorescence and diffuse reflectance spectra measured ex vivo from breast tissues. These …

Cervical cancer can be treated and cured if diagnosed at an early stage. Optical devices,
developed on smartphone-based platforms, are being tested for this purpose as they are …

Fluorescence spectroscopy has the potential to identify discriminatory signatures, crucial for
early diagnosis of cervical cancer. We demonstrate here the design, fabrication and testing …

Sample-to-sample variability has proven to be a major challenge in achieving calibration
transfer in quantitative biological Raman spectroscopy. Multiple morphological and optical …

We report the development of a compact point-detection fluorescence spectroscopy system
and two data analysis methods to quantify the intrinsic fluorescence redox ratio and …

Fluorescence Imaging (FI) is a powerful technique in biological science and clinical
medicine. Current FI devices that are used either for in-vivo or in-vitro studies are expensive …
