The review outlines the main approaches to practical implementation of Mueller matrix polarimetry and discusses its potential applications in biology and agriculture. The integration of Mueller matrix measurements into standard optical methods can significantly enhance their capabilities in characterizing biological systems and bioorganic materials. Additionally, microwave Mueller matrix polarimetry shows promise for monitoring soil conditions and crop growth.
The review contains a systematization of the main approaches to the practical implementation of Mueller matrix polarimetry and the prospects for its application in biology and agriculture. The most typical optical layouts for measuring the Mueller matrix of various objects, such as disperse systems, tissues and surface structures, are discussed. Mueller matrix measurements, being integrated into standard schemes of conventional optical methods, such as scatterometry, optical coherence tomography, fluorimetry, spectrophotometry and reflectometry, can significantly expand their capabilities in the characterization of biological systems and bioorganic materials. Additionally, microwave Mueller matrix polarimetry can be used for monitoring soil conditions and crop growth. The proposed systematization is aimed at outlining the conceptual directions for the development of non-invasive diagnostic tools based on measuring the Mueller matrix, primarily with a focus on biological research and agricultural practice.
