摘要
An optical technique improving the imaging of a target inside suspensions of scattering particles includes the illumination of the scattering particles with circularly polarized light The backscattered light from the host medium preserves the helicity of incident light, while the backscattered light reflected from the target is predominated with light of opposite helicity Based on the observed helicity difference in the emerging light that originated at the target and that backscattered from the medium, the present optical technique improves the image contrast using circular polarization This approach utilizes polarization memory which leads to the reflected light from the target accompanied by weak diffusive backscattered light Using the present technique, improved imaging of the artery wall is achieved and plaque composition can be assessed through a blood field associated with the artery The scattering from the particles, such as red blood cells, in the blood is reduced due to polarization memory.
