This paper focuses on the polarization features during the tissue optical clearing process. Based on our previous anisotropic tissue model and polarization sensitive Monte Carlo simulation program, we simulated the influence of refractive index matching on polarized photons behaviors and observed the polarization parameters change with the clearing process. Using two methods: Mueller matrix pol...

A realistic nonspherical model for Emiliania huxleyi (EHUX) is built, based on electron micrographs of coccolithophore cells. The Inherent Optical Properties (IOP) of the EHUX are then calculated numerically by using the discrete dipole approximation. The coccolithophore model includes a near-spherical core with the refractive index of 1.04 + m(i)j, and a carbonate shell formed by smaller cocco...

Polarized light imaging is a potential tool to obtain an adequate description of the properties of depolarizing media such as biological tissues. In many biomedical applications, for instance, dermatology, ophthalmology, or urology, imaging polarimetry provides a noninvasive diagnosis of a wide range of disease states, and, likewise, it could be applied to the study of internal tissues though t...

Nanowire structures arranged in a hexagonal lattice are to be characterized terms of their diameter, height and pitch. A scatterometer an imaging Mueller matrix ellipsometer, which is combination commercial ellipsometer microscope, have been used as measurement tools. These measurements supported by numerical simulations using the finite element method characterize structure parameters.
