Abstract
We developed the theoretical framework for extracting polarimetric parameters relevant to the biomedical diagnosis of tissue (linear retardance, azimuth of optical axis, depolarization) using partial Mueller matrix (MM) data and compare them with corresponding parameters extracted from complete MM. Both parametric datasets demonstrated compelling similarity for both theoretical model and experimental MMs of tape and thin section of mouse uterine cervix measured in reflection. Our findings represent a significant step toward developing new medical imaging partial polarimeters that may provide a good compromise between the simplicity, compactness, speed of acquisition, and the required accuracy of polarimetric measurements for medical diagnosis.
