Abstract
The depolarization property of a biomedium with anisotropic biomolecule optical scattering is investigated theoretically. By using a simple ellipsoid model of a single biomolecule, the scattering fields and Mueller matrices are derived from fundamental electromagnetism theory. The biomedium is modeled as a system of uncorrelated anisotropic molecules. On the basis of a statistical model of anisotropic molecular distribution, the scattering depolarization of the biomedium is investigated. Simulated results of the molecular shape and orientation dependent single scattering depolarization
