Angular Measurements of Light Scattered by the Glucose Containing Biological Tissues and Their Phantoms

Method of optical polarimetry is well known, but earlier it was mainly used to low scattering media. In this paper we consider the possibility of measuring the glucose concentration by detecting polarization of the backscattered laser light. Dependencies of the degree of polarization and of the optical rotation on the registration angle were received. Furthermore, the significant impact of the wavelength and the power of probing beam on the degree of polarization was shown.
