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‐based optical techniques have become increasingly popular in the field of
biomedical diagnosis. In the current report we exploit the directional awareness of circularly …

Optical scanning microscopy techniques based on the polarization control of the light have
the capability of providing non invasive label-free contrast. By comparing the polarization …

Significance Wide-field imaging Mueller polarimetry is an optical imaging technique that has
great potential to become a reliable, fast, non-contact in vivo imaging modality for the early …

Recently, speckle visibility spectroscopy (SVS) was non-invasively applied on the head to
monitor cerebral blood flow. The technique, using a multi-pixel detecting device (eg …

Monte Carlo (MC) simulation for light propagation in scattering and absorbing media is the
gold standard for studying the interaction of light with biological tissue and has been used …

We introduce a method of azimuthally invariant 3D Mueller-matrix (MM) layer-by-layer
mapping of the phase and amplitude parameters of anisotropy of the partially depolarizing …

We introduce a Mueller-matrix imaging polarization-based approach for the quantitative
digital screening of the polycrystalline structure of fibrillary-based biological tissues in vitro …

Significance Monte Carlo (MC) methods have been applied for studying interactions
between polarized light and biological tissues, but most existing MC codes supporting …

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