Light emitted and reflected by objects provides us with much useful information about our surroundings. In addition to its wavelength and intensity, one very useful property of an optical beam is its polarization state, or the orientation of the electric field vector perpendicular to the propagation direction. When light travels through an object, its polarization state will be changed. Hence the properties of the object can be obtained through the change in the polarization state. We propose to extend our research into polarized light interactions with turbid materials. The long-term goal of the research is to perform polarized light assessment of biological tissues.

物体发出和反射的光为我们提供了有关周围环境的许多有用信息。除了其波长和强度外，光束的一个非常有用的特性是其极化状态，或垂直于传播方向的电场矢量的方向。当光穿过一个物体时，其极化状态将被更改。因此，可以通过极化状态的变化获得对象的性质。我们建议将研究扩展到与浑浊材料的两极分化相互作用中。 该研究的长期目标是对生物组织进行两极分化的光评估。
