Abstract

Short-wave infrared light is weakly absorbed by human epidermal and dermal tissue. Investigation of polarization characteristics of human skin taken in vivo distinguishes how depolarization index and the Mueller matrix are markers that can identify skin from a rough Lambertian surface material. A custom Near-Infrared imaging Mueller Matrix Polarimeter using an expanded, coherent 1550nm laser beam source is used to analyze the skin on the back of hands as a subject.
