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 …

Polarization gating is a popular and widely used technique in biomedical optics to sense
superficial tissues (colinear detection), deeper volumes (crosslinear detection), and also …

A decoupled analytical technique based on the Stokes–Mueller matrix decomposition
method extracts polarization properties of human blood plasma, collagen solution, and …

In this paper, we demonstrate time-domain polarization difference (TPD) imaging for target
recognition in a turbid medium. The simulated results show that compared with conventional …

Extracting a system's physical features from polarimetric experiments constitutes a
challenging task, especially in the presence of multiple scattering. This can be attributed to …

Interpreting the polarimetric data from fiber-like macromolecules constitutive of tissue can be
difficult due to strong scattering. In this study, we probed the superficial layers of fibrous …

In the last few decades there has been a remarkable growth in the development of optical
spectroscopic techniques for in situ, sensitive, minimally invasive diagnosis. In this article we …

We report the results of a study carried out to investigate the potential of optical techniques
such as optical coherence tomography, Mueller matrix spectroscopy, and cross-polarization …

Articular cartilage is a microstructurally and biochemically complex tissue with distinct zonal
architecture. The primary interactions of articular cartilage with polarized light are …

In noninvasive near-infrared (NIR) noncontact measurement, a cross-polarization method is
employed to eliminate undesired surface reflection and extract useful internal information …
