Scanning laser polarimetry (SLP), a technology for glaucoma diagnosis, uses imaging polarimetry to detect the birefringence of the retinal nerve fiber layer. A simple model of SLP suggests an algorithm for calculating birefringence that, unlike previous methods, uses all of the data available in the images to achieve better signal-to-noise ratio and lower sensitivity to depolarization. The uncertainty of the calculated retardance is estimated and an appropriate averaging strategy to reduce uncertainty is demonstrated. Averaging over a large area of the macula of the eye is used in a new method for determining anterior segment birefringence.
扫描激光偏振imetry（SLP）是一种用于青光眼诊断的技术，它利用成像偏振imetry来检测视网膜神经纤维层的双折射。一个简单的SLP模型提出了一种计算双折射的算法，与以前的方法不同，该算法使用图像中所有可用数据来实现更好的信噪比和对去极化更低的敏感性。估计了计算延迟的不确定性，并展示了一种减少不确定性的适当平均策略。在一种确定眼前节双折射的新方法中，使用了对眼睛黄斑的大面积进行平均。
