Abstract
AbstractBy conducting both the experiments on samples containing well-aligned fibers and Monte Carlo simulations based on the sphere cylinder scattering model (SCSM), we present a Mueller matrix transformation (MMT) method for quantitatively characterizing the properties of anisotropic scattering media. We obtained a set of parameters by fitting the Mueller matrix elements to trigonometric curves in polar coordinates. These new parameters can be expressed as analytical functions of the Mueller matrix elements and display simple relationships to the structural and optical properties of the anisotropic scattering media, such as the anisotropy, the direction of the fibers, and the sizes of the scatterers. Experimental results on biological tissues show that these new parameters can be used in biomedical research. However, further studies are still necessary to correlate the MMT parameters to pathological features.
