Abstract
Polarimetric imaging can provide morphological and structural information of tissue and has demonstrated applications during endoscopy. Polarimetric endoscopy has been shown by conducting polarimetric imaging through customized rigid endoscopes. Here we demonstrate Stokes polarimetric imaging via a commercially available rigid endoscope that can acquire full-Stokes information in a snapshot. This system incorporates two division of focal plane linear polarization cameras, a waveplate and a commercially available rigid endoscope. In addition, the sapphire windows in rigid endoscopes are known for their polarization effects. In this work, the polarization properties of the sapphire windows are carefully measured and calibrated to guarantee the accuracy of the system. Quantified analysis of the system and the imaging results on tissue are provided.
