Virtues of Mueller matrix imaging for underwater target detection
Applied Optics, 1999We present a theoretical analysis on use of polarized light in the detection of a model target in a scattering and absorbing medium similar to seawater. Monte Carlo numerical simulations are used in the calculation of the effective Mueller matrix which describes the scattering process. A target in the shape of a disk is divided into three regions, each

Mueller matrix imaging polarimetry
Optical Engineering, 1995The design and operation of a Mueller matrix imaging polarimeter is presented. The instrument is configurable to make a wide variety of polarimetric measurements of optical systems and samples. In one configuration, it measures the polarization properties of a set of ray paths through a sample.

Mueller matrix imaging by use of digital holography
SPIE Proceedings, 2015A Mueller matrix imaging method by use of the characteristics of digital holography is proposed. In the proposed method, only two exposures are required to obtain the Mueller matrix. The Mueller matrix can be calculated from Stokes vectors. Stokes vectors can be obtained from two fully-complex amplitude distributions.

Interpreting Mueller matrix images of tissues
SPIE Proceedings, 2001In recent years, several investigators have begun to explore polarized light imagery as a potential diagnostic tool. For example, polarimetric images have shown promise in identifying a variety of dermatological conditions. Because tissues tend to depolarize a large fraction (~85%) of incident light, the Mueller calculus lends itself well to these ...

Mueller Matrix Polarimetric Imaging of Prostate Tissue
2018 IEEE 38th International Conference on Electronics and Nanotechnology (ELNANO), 2018Polarimetric imaging technique is a beneficial and non-destructive tool for probing the structural properties of different tissues. The obtained optical signature matrix will help clinicians to evaluate the condition of tissues. As the polarimetric properties of tissues are dependent to the structure and cellular skeleton, time lapsing may introduce ...

Analysis of Mueller matrix images by polar decomposition
Proceedings of the Second Joint 24th Annual Conference and the Annual Fall Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society] [Engineering in Medicine and Biology, 2002Using a novel automated Mueller matrix polarimetric imaging system we acquired and generated the Mueller matrix images of normal, benign, and cancerous tissue from a Sinclair swine. A polar decomposition of these Mueller matrices yields the retardance, diattenuation, and depolarization parameters for each skin sample.

Mueller matrix imaging of targets in turbid media
SPIE Proceedings, 2000We present a theoretical analysis on the use of polarized light in the detection of a model target in a scattering and absorbing turbid medium. Monte Carlo numerical simulations are used in the calculation of the effective Mueller matrix which describes the scattering process. Contrasts between various parts of the target and background are analyzed in

Mueller matrix imaging and analysis of cancerous cells
Third International Conference on Applications of Optics and Photonics, 2017Imaging polarimetry is a focus of increasing interest in diagnostic medicine because of its non-invasive nature and its potential for recognizing abnormal tissues. However, handling polarimetric images is not an easy task, and different intermediate steps have been proposed to introduce physical parameters that may be helpful to interpret results.
