Polarization-Singular Processing of Biological Layers Laser Images in Order to Diagnose and Classify their Optical Properties

Abstract

Presented in this work are the results of investigations aimed at analysis of coordinate distributions of the fourth Stokes vector parameter in laser images of three types of phase-inhomogeneous layers, namely: rough, ground and bulk scattering layers. To characterize this parameter for all the types of phase-inhomogeneous layers, the authors have offered to use three groups of parameters: statistic moments of the first to fourth orders, autocorrelation functions, logarithmic dependences for power spectra. Ascertained are the criteria for diagnostics and classification of phase-inhomogeneous layers optical properties.
