The second edition of the book published by Springer in 2006, Optical Polarization in Biomedical Applications concerns the optical methods exploring a unique feature of light its polarization for quantitative tissue characterization. The new edition will introduce new topics and expand on existing, cutting-edge developments in this field. Particular attention is paid to recent theoretical and instrumental advances in Mueller polarimetry and their potential clinical applications, a discussion of the principles and concepts of optical tissue clearing, orbital angular momentum, and quantum entangled photons in tissue polarization optics, polarization encoding and symbolic mapping of DNA sequences, and machine learning for pathology signature extraction.

Some polarization-sensitive optical methods have already found clinical application, while others are still in the research phase but could become breakthrough technologies in various medical fields in the near future. Recent developments in Stokes-Muller polarimetry have led to extensive ex vivo and in vivo studies of various tissues. Important advances have been made in the field of matrix Mueller algebra for post-processing of diagnostic data, in the extension of the polarization Monte Carlo method to the study of scattering anisotropic media for the purpose of simulating the interaction of polarized light with tissue, and in the search for optimal optical markers for certain types of pathologies. These results are of interest to optical engineers, researchers, students, and clinicians seeking new, revolutionary approaches to solving diagnostic problems by assessing the presence of microstructural features to determine tissue integrity and in the development of new polarimetric technologies.

Valery V. Tuchin is the Head of the Department of Optics and Biophotonics and the Science Medical Center of Saratov State University, the Laboratory of Biophotonics of Tomsk State University and the Laboratory of Laser Diagnostics of Technical and Living Systems of the Institute of Precision Mechanics and Control of the Federal Research Center Saratov Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia. His research interests include tissue optics, tissue optical clearing, laser medicine and nanobiophotonics. Professor Tuchin is a Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a Fellow of SPIE and OSA/OPTICA. He is an Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, FiDiPro (Finland), a laureate of the SPIE Educator Award, the J.W. Goodman Book Writing Award, the M.S. Feld Prize in Biophotonics, and the Chime Bell Award of the Chinese province of Hubei.
