Abstract. Considered in this paper are the capabilities of the singular approach to the analysis of Stokes-parametric and Mueller-matrix patterns inherent to polycrystalline networks observed in phase-inhomogeneous biological layers. Offered is the model of nets for characteristic values of Mueller matrix elements that characterize mechanisms of formation of polarization singularities in laser images. The authors have grounded application of the method of cross-correlation two-point analysis aimed at polarization images formed by linear birefringence of biological crystal networks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
