Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is now a well-established modality for high-resolution
cross-sectional and three-dimensional imaging of transparent and translucent samples and …

Polarization is a fundamental property of light and a powerful sensing tool that has been
applied to many areas. A Mueller matrix is a complete mathematical description of the …

Structured light refers to the arbitrarily tailoring of optical fields in all their degrees of freedom
(DoFs), from spatial to temporal. Although orbital angular momentum (OAM) is perhaps the …

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 …

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 …

We present an algorithm that decomposes a Mueller matrix into a sequence of three matrix
factors: a diattenuator, followed by a retarder, then followed by a depolarizer. Those factors …

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 …

Two interferometric techniques for converting a linearly polarized laser beam into a radially
polarized beam with uniform azimuthal intensity are described. The techniques are based …

A new type of polarized light microscope ('new pol‐scope') for fast and orientation‐
independent measurement of birefringent fine structure has been developed. The design of …

An objective analysis is carried out of the matricial models representing the polarimetric
properties of light and material media leading to the identification and definition of their …
