Abstract :
In this paper, experimental results and data analysis on a novel technique aimed at increasing the image quality of the target, surrounded by a scattering medium, is presented. Specifically, enhanced target detection has been obtained by doping the surrounding medium with molecular contrast agents, consisting polar molecules yielding to an enhanced contract and specificity of the target, utilizing advanced polarimetric imaging techniques.
