Abstract

This paper is dedicated to the analysis and experimental testing of the concept of laser polarization probing of tissues. The methods of increasing the signal-to-noise ratio in coherent images of the optically anisotropic architectonics of the morphological tissue structure are considered. The possibilities of polarization selection and contrasting of such images screened by other tissues are examined. The influence of the polarization degree of the scattered background on the signal-to-noise ratio is investigated. The possibilities of polarization correction of the probing beam for contrasting tissue images are analyzed.
