Manuscript received 23.07.10; accepted for publication 02.12.10; published online 30.12.10. 1. Introduction Among the diversity of directions for optical diagnostics of biological objects, polarization methods are a most popular [1 – 39]. The latter are based on such fundamental conceptions as “matrix of coherency” and “degree of polarization” that describe the field of scattered radiation [1, 2]. These parameters characterize correlation similarity of orthogonal components of electromagnetic wave amplitudes in separate points of optical field with coordinates ( ) ( )rErE yx , ( )r [3]. In this sense, these analytical approaches will be considered as the “one-point” ones. They serve as a base for development of methods providing polarization mapping biological tissues (BT) and diagnostics of their pathological changes in structure (e.g., cancer of women’s reproductive organs) [13 – 15]. Wide application of modern laser technique in investigations of BT structures stimulates development of essentially new approaches to analysis and description of polarization-inhomogeneous fields of scattered coherent radiation. One-point methods got their development in a more general “two-point” approach based on the analysis aimed at the degree of coherency between polarization states of adjacent ( rrr Δ+11, ) points in the field of scattered radiation [4-11]. From the quantitative viewpoint, this correlation may be characterized with the value of module for complex degree of mutual polarization (CDMP) ( )rrrV Δ+11, [12]. In the works {13, 29], based on CDMP developed was the method of polarization-correlation mapping (PCM) for an optically-anisotropic BT structure. It was based on the analysis of coordinate distributions ( )rrrV Δ+11, . As a result, the authors realized not only diagnostics, but also differentiation of severity inherent to oncological changes (precancer – cancer of the first to fourth stages) in tissues of woman’s reproductive sphere [18]. On the other hand, there is a wide circle of weakly anisotropic biological liquids (BL) taken from a human organism, which are considerably more accessible as compared with BT samples that need a traumatic biopsy operation. From the physical viewpoint, BL are matter with a weak polarization modulation of laser radiation © 2010, V. Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine 404 Semiconductor Physics, Quantum Electronics & Optoelectronics, 2010. V. 13, N 4. P. 404-412. [33, 35, 37]. Thereof, the task of using phase information contained in the field of radiation scattered by BL is topical. Our work is aimed at development and testing the two-point correlation-phase method in investigations of blood plasma in order to provide early diagnostics of oncological changes in human organs (e.g., prostate). 2. Model conceptions As a basis for the analysis of phase structure inherent to the field of laser radiation transformed by blood plasma, we used the following model [13, 17, 18, 21, 22, 25, 28, 32, 33, 35]: - blood plasma is considered as a two-component isotropic-anisotropic structure; - optically isotropic component is the fraction consisting of optically single-axis birefringent crystals of albumin and globulin amino acids; - phase properties of these biological crystals are characterized with the Jones matrix { } 2221 1211 dd dd D = , (1) where ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )( ) ( ) ( ) ( )( )( ( ) ( ) ( )( )⎪ ⎩ ⎪ ⎨ ⎧ δ−ρ+ρ= δ−−ρρ== δ−ρ+ρ= =δρ .expcossin ;exp1sincos ;expsincos ,, 22 22 2112 22 11 rirrd rirrdd rirrd rdik © 2010, V.

Brief theory of the correlation-phase method As a basis for “two-point” correlation-phase method providing investigation of blood plasma, we used the conception of CDC for points of its laser image.

The expression (7) shows a simultaneous dependence of the CDC value for blood plasma image both on the orientation ( ρΔ ) and phase ( ) structure of its polycrystalline network.

Method to measure the coordinate distribution of the CDC module over the points of a laser image Shown in Fig. 1 is the optical scheme to measure coordinate distribution of the CDC module for laser images of blood plasma [13, 32]. Illumination of blood plasma layers (smears) was performed using a parallel beam (Ø= µm) from a Hе-Nе laser 1 (λ = 0.6328 µm). The transmission plane of the polarizer 4 and the axis of the maximum velocity in the quarter-wave plate 5 made the angle . The image of blood plasma samples 6 was projected using the micro-objective 7 into the plane of a light- sensitive area ( 410 045=Θ pixpixnmr 600800 ×=×≡ ) of CCD camera 10. The transmission plane of the analyzer 9 was oriented at the angle °−=Θ 45 relatively to the axis of the maximum velocity in the quarter-wave plate 8, which provided formation of conditions for phase filtration (relations (10) to (14)) for the laser image of a blood plasma sample.

Our comparative analysis of experimental data ical, correlation and fractal structures of PCM (Fig. 3, fragments (1), (2), (5), (6), (9), (10), (13), (14)) for laser images of blood plasma in both groups (Fig. 2) shows: 1.

Quantitatively, CPM of laser images corresponding to blood plasma of patients both healthy and with cancer are illustrated using the statistical ( μ −= 41iZ ), correlation ( VS , VQ ) and fractal ( VF , VD ) parameters (Table 2). 7. Conclusions The obtained results of studying the statistical, correlation and fractal structures of correlation-phase maps corresponding to blood plasma laser images for both groups enabled us to formulate the following objective criteria for their differentiation: 1. The values of statistical moments of d and fourth orders, which characterize the thir ( )nm×μ distributions of laser images for the group 2 samples, are 3.45 and 4.17 times higher than e analogous parame s μ 3Z , μ 4Z of b d p ma in the group 1. th ter loo las 2. The values of correlation area and ents differ 1.4 and 3.6 times, respectively, for both groups of blood plasma. 3. The fractal ( )nm×μ distribution of laser images for samples of blood plasma in the group 1 is transformed into the random one for t mples from the p 2.. Thus, we have de rm t of obj ctive criteria, using ch o f ate ate distrib s he m com lex deg of co y fo r im human blood ma. Also, we have demonstrated he diagnostic sensitivity of th red to logic states observed in patients with cancer. 1. f Press, he sa grou te ined the se e whi of t ne can di odule of ferenti p coordin ree ution herenc r lase ages of plas t e offe method patho μS correlation mom μQ References M.
