[17a-413-5] Imaging of inclusions in a slab based on backscattering by illumination of a thin polarized light beam
Keywords:polarimetric imaging, backscattering, Monte Carlo simulation
The reduced effective Mueller matrix of backscattering was investigated for a negligibly absorbing moderately scattering isotropic slab media containing absorbing, strongly scattering, or birefringent inclusions using a Monte Carlo method. The shape and size of these inclusions as well as their optical properties are approximately estimated using this technique.
