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 …

Polarized light point measurements and wide-field imaging have been studied for many
years in an effort to develop accurate and information-rich tissue diagnostic methods …

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 …

Polarization-based imaging can provide new diagnostic capabilities in clinical and
preclinical studies. Various methodologies of increasing complexity have been proposed by …

This paper reviews the current status of instruments for measuring the full 4× 1 Stokes vector
S, which describes the state of polarization (SOP) of totally or partially polarized light, and …

Complete determination of the polarization state of light requires at least four distinct
projective measurements of the associated Stokes vector. Stability of state reconstruction …

Abstract Full Poincaré beams (FPBs) are proposed for polarimetric applications. Such
beams present all states of totally polarized light across their transverse section at once and …

In this work, we describe the design and implementation of a Mueller matrix imaging
polarimeter that uses a polarization camera as a detector. This camera simultaneously …

A new Mueller matrix polarimeter was used to image the retinas of normal subjects. Light
from a linearly polarized 780 nm laser was passed through a system of variable retarders …

A spectroscopic Mueller matrix ellipsometer based on two rotating Fresnel rhomb
compensators with a nearly achromatic response and optimal retardance is described. In …
