The study is articulated in two parts' the application of optical polarimetric imaging principles operating under co-polarization and cross-polarization geometries; b) the polarimetric light interactions with the matter based on the ‘Fourier Analysis using Rotating Retarder method' using Stokes parameters analysis. Intensity measurements under co-polarized and cross-polarized transceiver-receiver geometries were obtained from the first set of experiments which allowed us to estimate the Degree of Linear Polarization (DOLP), while the second part of the study allowed us to estimate the Degree of Circular Polarization (DOCP) for the same samples. As a part of the calibration procedures of the polarimetric system, backscattering light experiments were conducted on the white surface, black surface and a plain mirror. These experiments yielded near accurate results for these surfaces which highlight the consistency of the applying polarimetric methodology. 2011-09-21 English text University of Akron / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1310668796 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1310668796 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
