Photon antibunching — generally refers to a light field with photons more equally spaced than a coherent laser field. More specifically, it can refer to sub Poisson photon statistics, that is a photon number distribution for which the variance is less than the mean. A … Wikipedia
Photon polarization — is the quantum mechanical description of the classical polarized sinusoidal plane electromagnetic wave. Individual photons are completely polarized. Their polarization state can be linear or circular, or it can be elliptical, which is anywhere in … Wikipedia

Radiative transfer equation and diffusion theory for photon transport in biological tissue — Photon transport in biological tissue can be equivalently modeled numerically with Monte Carlo simulations or analytically by the radiative transfer equation (RTE). However, the RTE is difficult to solve without introducing approximations. A… … Wikipedia
