Design and construction of an optimal Mueller matrix imaging polarimeter for biomedical applications

We present a new method for optimizing rotating compensator polarimeters based on the implementation of an elliptical retarder made by placing two linear retarders at an angle offset. By adjusting the angle between the two retarders, the linear retardance can be adjusted to the optimal value of 132d...
