Mueller matrix (MM) polarimetry allows the investigation of partial polarimeter designs for a given scientific task. In this work, we use MM measurements to solve for a fixed polarization illumination and analyzer state that maximize polariscopic image contrast of the human eye. The eye MM image acquisition takes place over 15 seconds which motivates the development of a partial polarimeter that has snapshot operation. Within the eye, the birefringent cornea produces spatially-varying patterns of retardance exceeding half of a wave with a fast-axis varying from linear, to circular, and elliptical states in between. Our closed-form polariscopic pairs are a general solution that maximizes contrast between two non-depolarizing pure retarder MMs. For these MMs, there is a family of polariscopic pairs that maximize contrast. This range of solutions creates an opportunity to use the distance from optimal as a criteria to adjust polarimetric hardware architecture. We demonstrate our optimization approach by performing both Mueller and polariscopic imaging of an <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic> human eye at 947 nm using a dual-rotating-retarder polarimeter. Polariscopic images are simulated from Mueller measurements of 19 other human subjects to test the robustness of this optimal solution.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1364\/oe.520657","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,18]],"date-time":"2024-04-18T07:00:09Z","timestamp":1713423609000},"page":"18113","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1364\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Optimizing near-infrared polariscopic imaging for the living human eye"],"prefix":"10.1364","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Quinn","family":"Jarecki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Arizona"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8016-4667","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Meredith","family":"Kupinski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Arizona"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"285","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"oe-32-10-18113-R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"29","DOI":"10.1098\/rstl.1815.0004","volume":"105","author":"Brewster","year":"1815","journal-title":"Philos.
