Title :
Acousto-Optic Tunable Filter-based Spectropolarimetric Imagers for Biomedical Applications
Author_Institution :

Abstract :
Optical imagers that can detect both spectral and polarization signatures are needed in biomedical applications. Acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) based imagers are described that are ideally suited to provide both agile spectral and polarization signatures.
