Effects of polarization state and scatterer concentration on optical imaging through scattering media
Abstract
The imaging resolution in turbid media is severely degraded by light scattering. Resolution can be improved if the unscattered or weakly scattered light is extracted. Here the state of polarization of the emerging light is used to discriminate photon path length, with the more weakly scattered photons maintaining their original polarization state. It is experimentally demonstrated that over a wide range of scatterer concentrations there exist three distinct imaging regimes. It is also shown that within the intermediate regime one of two distinct imaging techniques is appropriate, depending on the particle size.

“In reality, what happens first, loss of ballistic photons due to scattering or depolarisation of light as it propagates, is dependent upon the size (essentially the g factor), shape and concentration of the scatterer [92].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
