Mueller matrix polarimetry for improved liver fibrosis diagnosis [PDF]

open access: yesOptics Letters, 2012
An experimental Mueller matrix polarimeter is used to quantify human liver fibrosis by measuring retardance and depolarization of thin biopsies. The former parameter is sensitive to fibrillar collagen, the latter is specifically sensitive to fibrillar collagen around blood vessels, which is not significant for liver fibrosis diagnosis.

Mueller Matrix Associated with an Arbitrary 4×4 Real Matrix. The Effective Component of a Mueller Matrix

open access: yesPhotonics
Due to the limited accuracy of experimental data, Mueller polarimetry can produce real 4×4 matrices that fail to meet required covariance or passivity conditions.

Giant Chiroptical Properties in Thin Films of a Chiral Indaceno[1,2‐b:5,6‐b′]Dithiophene‐Based Organic Dye

open access: yesAggregate, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
A new chiral indaceno[1,2‐b:5,6‐b′]dithiophene bis‐thiophenylpropynone (IDT‐TPO) dye, which exhibits giant chiroptical properties (up to 18,000 mdeg) in drop‐casted and spin‐coated thin films upon simple aging, was deeply investigated by means of computational, microscopy, and spatially resolved chiroptical techniques.

A Unified Vector Electromagnetic Framework for Ionospheric Scintillation and Polarization Effects in GNSS

open access: yesRadio Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The ionosphere imposes coupled amplitude, phase, and polarization distortions on trans‐ionospheric Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals, reflecting the structure and dynamics of electron‐density irregularities. Classical weak‐scatter theory provides a mature framework for interpreting amplitude and phase scintillation, but these ...

Optimizing Mueller polarimetry in noisy systems through over-determination

open access: yesApplied Optics, 2021
Mueller polarimetry measurements are increasingly being used to image highly dynamic and short-lived phenomena such as plasma discharges. For phenomena such as these, exposure times below 1 µs must be used. Unfortunately, these low exposure times significantly reduce the signal-to-noise ratio, making accurate and consistent ...

Extended Representation of Mueller Matrices

open access: yesPhotonics, 2023
The so-called arbitrary decomposition of a given Mueller matrix into a convex sum of nondepolarizing constituents provides a general framework for parallel decompositions of polarimetric interactions.

Ubiquitous Antiparallel Domains in 2D Hexagonal Boron Nitride Uncovered by Interferometric Nonlinear Optical Imaging

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
Interferometric second‐harmonic generation (SHG) imaging reveals the ubiquitous formation of antiparallel domains in CVD‐grown 2D hexagonal boron nitride. By resolving lattice orientation and SHG phase, hidden domain structures and disorder become visible over large areas. The SHG intensity quantitatively tracks crystalline quality across growth routes,

Physical Significance of the Determinant of a Mueller Matrix

open access: yesPhotonics, 2022
The determinant of a Mueller matrix M plays an important role in both polarization algebra and the interpretation of polarimetric measurements. While certain physical quantities encoded in M admit a direct interpretation, the understanding of the ...

Thermodynamic Reversibility in Polarimetry

open access: yesPhotonics, 2022
The action of linear media on incident polarized electromagnetic waves can produce two kinds of thermodynamic irreversible effects, namely, loss of intensity, in general anisotropic, and reduction of the degree of polarization. Even though both phenomena
