Multidimensional laser microscopy of polarization-singular structure of phase-inhomogeneous layers for diagnostics and classification of their optical properties

Abstract

Presented in this work are the results of investigations aimed at analysis of coordinate distributions of the fourth Stokes vector parameter in laser images of two types of biological phase-inhomogeneous layers, namely: rough and bulk scattering layers. To characterize this parameter for all the types of phase-inhomogeneous layers, the authors have offered to use three groups of parameters: statistic moments of the first to the fourth orders, autocorrelation functions, logarithmic dependences for power spectra. Ascertained are the criteria for diagnostics and classification of phase-inhomogeneous layers optical properties.
