“…Polarimetric techniques are widespread used in many research fields as medical physics [1,2], astronomy [3], polarizing sample characterization [4,5], among others. In all these applications, the knowledge of the state of polarization of light beams or the polarizing properties of samples is essential.…”

Abstract:In this paper we present the analysis, optimization and implementation of several Stokes polarimeter configurations based on a setup including two variable retarders. The polarimeter analysis is based on the Mueller-Stokes formalism, and as a consequence, it is suitable to deal with depolarized light. Complete Stokes polarimeters are optimized by minimizing the amplification of simulated errors into the final solution. Different indicators useful to achieve this aim, as the condition number or the equally weighted variance, are compared in this paper. Moreover, some of the optimized polarimeters are experimentally implemented and it is studied the influence of small deviations from the theoretical ones on the amplification of the Stokes component error. In addition, the benefit of using incomplete polarimeters, when detecting specific ranges of states of polarization, is discussed.

“…The cutoffs (CoVs, i.e., the percentage over the values of the corresponding to negative control produced by national reference negative samples) derived from the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the five markers (HBsAg, HBsAb, HBeAg, HBeAb, and HBcAb) were deduced to be 15%, 18%, 15%, 20%, and 15%, respectively. Anastasiadou et al (2008) evaluated the potential of polarimetric imaging for the early detection and therapy of cervical cancer. The current strategy for cervical cancer detection and therapy is based on detailed examination via a colposcopy.…”

“…In addition, the labeling process is normally time and labor intensive. To solve these problems, substantial effort has been devoted to the development of label-free protein biosensors, though their detection sensitivity for certain biomolecules is lower than that of labeled biosensors (Anastasiadou et al, 2008).…”

“…Chung et al [64], Manhas et al [73] and Anastasiadou et al [74] have explored the use of the Mueller matrix decomposition approach for diagnosis of oral cancer and cervical cancer respectively. Interesting differences have been reported by them in the Mueller matrix-decomposed values for linear retardance (δ) and depolarization coefficient (Δ) for the cancerous and the normal tissues, indicating the potential of Mueller matrix polarimetry for non-invasive and early diagnosis of cancer.…”

Abstract. Studies on polarization properties of scattered light from a random medium like biological tissue have received considerable attention because polarization can be used as an effective tool to discriminate against multiply scattered light (acting as a gating mechanism) and thus can facilitate high resolution imaging through tissue. Further, the polarization properties of scattered light from tissue contain wealth of morphological and functional information of potential biomedical importance. However, in a complex random medium like tissue, numerous complexities due to multiple scattering and simultaneous occurrences of many scattering and polarization events present formidable challenges both in terms of accurate measurements and in terms of analysis of the tissue polarimetry signal. Several studies have therefore been conducted in the recent past to develop appropriate measurement procedures, suitable light propagation models and polarimetry signal analysis methods to overcome these difficulties. In this review, we focus on some of the recent key developments in this area. Specifically, we describe variety of theoretical and experimental tools, illustrated with selected results, aimed at evaluating the prospect of turbid medium polarimetry for both biomedical imaging and diagnosis.
