“…Then the vector radiative transfer equation decouples into independent equations. This corresponds to the basic mode approximation [27][28][29]. Taking into account the off-diagonal elements, we develop a perturbative procedure for calculating the depolarization coefficients of linearly and circularly polarized light.…”

The depolarization coefficients are calculated for multiply scattered linearly and circularly polarized light. For a number of media (aqueous suspension of polystyrene particles, water droplets in air), the calculations are carried out both numerically, with solving the vector radiative transfer equation and analytically, within the polarization mode approximation. In the latter case the depolarization coefficients are expressed explicitly in terms of the scattering and absorption coefficients, and the scattering matrix elements of the medium. The range of applicability of the polarization mode approximation is established. For most practically important cases, this method is shown to provide a satisfactory degree of accuracy. We also find the fundamental values of the depolarization coefficients for a Rayleigh medium.

“…The threshold value of the degree of polarization depends both on the polarization sensitivity of the detector and on the contribution from the polarized component of the diffusive background (the latter can be estimated as σ a θ 2 /3σ tr , where angle θ is counted from the forward direction [39][40][41] dep ) between objects and surrounding tissues exceeds the typical values of the absorption coefficients. Therefore, the polarization-gating techniques are suited for measurements of the difference in scattering properties rather than in absorption.…”
