Abstract

In this paper, polarization property of RBCs was discussed by polar decomposition. Experimental results were compared with a three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation for the erythrocyte suspensions with the same concentration. And there is a good agreement for both experimental and simulative results. Furthermore, Mueller matrices were measured for erythrocyte suspensions with different concentration under 10%, in this condition light coherent phenomena can be ignored. Using polar decomposition, the conclusion comes out that degree of polarization (DOP) and diattenuator for erythrocyte suspensions decrease with increasing concentration. Because when suspension concentration increases, scattering coefficient will be changed increasingly simultaneously and DOP and diattenuator decreases with added scattering times. These results will be referred as useful information for noninvasive diagnosis of blood.
