    • Mueller matrix imaging for skin cancer detection 
      Baldwin, Angela Michelle (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
      Over one million Americans are afflicted with skin cancer each year. Even though skin cancer has a 95% cure rate, approximately 10,000 people die in the United States each year of this disease. The current ABCDE(F) detection ...
    • Polarization-sensitive Mueller-matrix optical coherence tomography 
      Jiao, Shuliang (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
      Measuring the Mueller matrix with optical coherence tomography (OCT) makes it possible to acquire the complete polarization properties of scattering media with three-dimensional spatial resolution. We first proved that the ...
    • Sensitivity of the Mueller matrix to the optical and microphysical properties of cirrus clouds 
      Lawless, Ryan Lee (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
      An adding-doubling method is employed to calculate the reflected Stokes parameters for cirrus cloud layers composed of different habits and effective sizes. The elements of the Mueller matrix are determined from the reflected ...
    • Simulation of Lidar Return Signals Associated with Water Clouds 
      Lu, Jianxu (2010-01-14)
      We revisited an empirical relationship between the integrated volume depolar- ization ratio, oacc, and the effective multiple scattering factor, -n, on the basis of Monte Carlo simulations of spaceborne lidar backscatter ...
