Polarization structure of biospeckles and the depolarization of laser radiation

The formation of a fine polarization structure of biospeckles of derma is studied. In the case of scattered laser radiation, the degree of polarization is shown to be an integrated characteristic of randomly distributed types and forms of polarization of an ensemble of biospeckles. A method for phase compensation of the degree of depolarization is proposed, which makes possible a severalfold increase of the measurement sensitivity.
