A new apparatus for in vivo retinal-scattering experiments incorporating Mueller-matrix ellipsometry is described. The basic principle is that the state of polarization of the entrance beam is modulated, after which the Stokes vector of the exit beam is assessed. Results show that nearly 90% of the degree of polarization of the entrance beam is preserved after double passage of the ocular media and retinal scattering. Changes in the state of polarization are studied in terms of a rotation around an eigenvector on the Poincaré sphere. These studies show that the type of change in the state of polarization of the totally polarized component is probably caused by a linearly birefringent process.
描述了一种用于体内视网膜散射实验的新型装置，该装置结合了穆勒矩阵椭偏仪。其基本原理是，入射光束的偏振态被调制，然后评估出射光束的斯托克斯矢量。结果表明，入射光束经过眼内介质和视网膜散射的两次通过后，其偏振度近90%得以保留。从围绕庞加莱球上的本征矢量的旋转角度研究偏振态的变化。这些研究表明，完全偏振分量的偏振态变化类型可能是由线性双折射过程引起的。
