Abstract

Video measurements of the polarized component of back scattered light show a characteristic pattern around an incident linearly polarized laser beam. This pattern can be attributed to early photons which probe only a thin superficial layer of the medium. Mie theory is used to explain the angular polarization pattern. Measurements at two wavelengths on phantoms with different particle sizes and on human skin are reported.
