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 …

Tissue optical clearing technique provides a prospective solution for the application of
advanced optical methods in life sciences. This paper gives a review of recent …

This tutorial-review introduces the fundamentals of polarized light interaction with biological
tissues and presents some of the recent key polarization optical methods that have made …

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 …

Significance: The Mueller matrix decomposition method is widely used for the analysis of
biological samples. However, its presumed sequential appearance of the basic optical …

This work is dedicated to the diagnosis and grading of colon cancer by a combined use of
Poincaré sphere and 2D Stokes vector polarimetry mapping approaches. The major …

Mueller matrix polarimetric imaging has shown potential in tissue diagnosis but is
challenging to implement endoscopically. In this work, a narrow band 3× 3 Mueller matrix …

The study of agent diffusion in biological tissues is very important to understand and
characterize the optical clearing effects and mechanisms involved: tissue dehydration and …

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

We investigate the polarization features corresponding to changes in the microstructure of
nude mouse skin during immersion in a glycerol solution. By comparing the Mueller matrix …
