Quantitative polarization-sensitive super-resolution solid immersion microscopy reveals biological tissues’ birefringence in the terahertz range

Abstract Terahertz (THz) technology offers a variety of applications in label-free medical diagnosis and therapy, majority of which rely on the effective medium theory that assumes biological tissues to be optically isotropic and homogeneous at the scale posed by the THz wavelengths. Meanwhile, most...
