Effects of detection geometry on polarimetric measurements of scattered light from turbid media containing optically active glucose molecules
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The effects of optically turbid medium on polarization states of incident light are studied using a novel linear Stokes polarimeter. The optical rotation and surviving linear polarization fraction of light scattered from highly turbid media (scattering coefficient μ<sub>s</sub> = 100 cm<sup>-1</sup>) are measured both in and off the incident plane while the detection angle changes from forward direction (0°) to backward directions (135°, 145° and 155°). The response of the optical rotation and surviving linear polarization to the presence of glucose molecules (0.06M - 0.9M) is also studied. The results show that in the absence of glucose, the scattering-induced optical rotation is zero in the incident plane for all detection angles, and increases with detection angle when measured off the incident plane. Conversely, the surviving linear polarization fraction increases with detection angle in the incident plane, and decreases when off the incident plane. Thus, when measured in the incident plane, optical rotation is least sensitive to glucose in the turbid medium, whereas the surviving linear polarization is most sensitive. For the above turbidity and glucose concentration ranges, the optimal glucose detection sensitivity using optical rotation is at 135° detection angle, 2 mm off the incident plane, while it is at 135° detection angle in the incident plane if surviving linear polarization is used as a glucose probe. This work demonstrates the complexity of polarimetry in turbid chiral media and underscores the importance of detection geometry in making and interpreting turbid polarimetry measurements.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
