摘要：

We report a two-layer Mueller matrix model of polarized light propagation through layered human skin. Our model is based on single scattering approximation and the fact that the main scatterers in the top layer are various types of cells and the scatterers beneath it consist of fibers. By modeling the first layer mainly with spherical particles inducing the characteristics represented by Mueller matrices of depolarization and diattenuation, the second layer mainly with cylindrical scatterers inducing the retardance caused by scattering and birefringence, and considering the effects of the first layer to the second one, and the equal weight of contributions from both layers to a scatterer, it is possible to separate polarization properties of the medium induced by light propagation and scattering processes. One advantage of our model is that its extension to multi-layer tissues is straightforward. Polarization effects of human nail fold are identified.
