Abstract
In turbid tissue-like scattering medium the conventional polarised light, scattered multiple number of times, is depolarised, and the depolarisation rate depends strongly on the size and shape of scattering particles, as well as on the number of scattering events. In fact, the structure of light can be more complicated when the polarisation of light across the laser beam can be radially or azimuthally polarised and carry orbital angular momentum (OAM). We use both conventional polarisation and shaped light with OAM for characterisation of biological tissues and their structural malformations associated with dangerous diseases, including cancer, dementia, diabetes and other.
