“…As a result, polarimetric based techniques are nowadays being applied in multiple scenarios, as for instance, for cancer detection and stage identification [4][5][6][7][8], to enhance image contrast in skin diseases [9][10][11], for human eye examination [12,13], for diabetes diagnosis as well as therapy [14,15], etc.…”

Abstract. We present mathematical formulae generalizing polarization gating techniques. Polarization gating refers to a collection of imaging methods based on the combination of different controlled polarization channels. In particular, we show how using the measured Mueller matrix of a sample, a widespread number of polarization gating configurations can be evaluated just from analytical expressions based on the Mueller matrix coefficients. We also show the interest of controlling the helicity of the states of polarization used for polarization gating based metrology, as this parameter has an impact in the image contrast of samples. In addition, we highlight as well the interest of combining polarization gating techniques with tools of data analysis related to the Mueller matrix formalism, such as the well-known Mueller matrix decompositions. The method discussed in this work is illustrated with the results of polarimetric measurements done on artificial phantoms and real ex-vivo tissues.
