Polarization preservation gate—a tool for optical mammography

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

In this work we demonstrate that light propagating through tissue, within a time gate, retains its polarization to different degree depending on the type of tissue, This observation provides a way to improve optical imaging in turbid media. The polarization-preserving photons belong to the group of early arriving image-carrying photons.
