Polarization phase mapping of biological tissues: II. Skin as a transformer of vector structure of coherent radiation

The process of transformation of polarization and correlation structure of low-intensive laser radiation by the skin is discussed in this paper. The method of matrix modeling of optical properties of epidermis and derma of the skin is suggested. On this basis the mechanisms of transformation of the polarization of the scattered lasr radiation field's state and forming the coherent biospeckles ensemble are analyzed. The tchnique of polarization diagnostics of the skin's derma collagen net structure is suggested.
