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 …

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 …

The contrast mechanism of medical endoscopy is mainly based on metrics of optical
intensity and wavelength. As another fundamental property of light, polarization can not only …

This work quantifies the polarization persistence and memory of circularly polarized light in
forward-scattering and isotropic (Rayleigh regime) environments; and for the first time …

To enhance the clinical utility of mass spectrometry (MS), lengthy dwell times on less
informative regions of patient specimens (eg, adipose tissue in breast) must be minimized …

We present simulation results quantitatively showing that circularly polarized light persists in
transmission through several real-world and model fog environments better than linearly …

Backscattered circularly polarized light from turbid media consists of helicity-flipped and
helicity-preserved photon sub-populations (ie, photons of perpendicular and parallel circular …

Significance: Biological tissues are typically characterized by high anisotropic scattering and
may also exhibit linear form birefringence. Both scattering and birefringence bias the phase …

Significance Phase retardation of circularly polarized light (CPL), backscattered by
biological tissue, is used extensively for quantitative evaluation of cervical intraepithelial …

We show, through visible-range Mueller polarimetry, as well as numerical simulations, that
the depolarization in a homogeneous turbid medium consisting of submicron spherical …
