  • Abstract
    Mueller polarimetric imaging is a promising technique which is able to provide additional polarisation contrast for surgical imaging. In this work, an improved 3×3 Mueller matrix and a 4×4 Mueller matrix endoscopic system were constructed and images of rat abdomen were obtained and decomposed to quantify depolarisation, diattenuation and linear retardance.
