Optical polarimetric techniques to identify and characterize biological and chemical materials have received much attention recently for their broad applications in biophotonics, biochemistry, biomedicine, and pharmacology. We present here several options for the measurement of optical rotation, diattenuation, and the index of depolarization. These include polar decomposition, identification of specific pairs of Mueller matrix elements that are proportional to optical activity, and the cross-polarized components of lateral waves and surface waves at the interface between free space and the optically active material.
用于识别和表征生物及化学材料的光学偏振技术，因其在生物光子学、生物化学、生物医学和药理学中的广泛应用，近年来受到了广泛关注。我们在此介绍几种测量旋光性、二向色性和退偏指数的方法。这些方法包括偏振分解、识别与光学活性成比例的特定穆勒矩阵元素对，以及自由空间与光学活性材料界面处横向波和表面波的交叉偏振分量。
