Glucose sensing in the presence of scattering particles using decomposition of partial Mueller matrix

摘要

A Partial Mueller matrix polarimeter retrieves a subset of sample polarization properties that can be useful for specific measurement. A partial Mueller matrix decomposition method is proposed to retrieve the optical rotation and depolarization simultaneously for measuring glucose concentration in the presence of scattering. A dual-photoelastic-modulator based Mueller matrix polarimeter is designed for this purpose. We verify the proposed decomposition method by measuring different glucose concentrations mixed with scattering particles.
