Abstract
A time-resolved Monte Carlo technique was used to simulate the propagation of polarized light in turbid media. Calculated quantities include the refle ction Mueller matrices, the transmission Mueller matrices, and the degree o f polarization (DOP). The effects of the polarization state of the incident light and of the size of scatterers on the propagation of DOP were studied . Results are shown in animation sequences.
