“…Very often, optical sensing must face light transmission through "turbid media", where light absorption and scattering effects are mostly observed together, and this can impact the accurate detection of fluorescence and colorimetric responses. In Reference [12], Ducanchez et al used an original approach that mixes polarized light spectroscopy and the Mueller matrix concept coupled with partial least square calibration models. This allowed the authors to demonstrate that absorption and scattering effects can be distinguished in the Rayleigh regime with linear and circular polarization from the M 22 and M 44 elements of the Mueller matrix, respectively.…”
