Abstract: The role of nanoparticles in diagnostic and treatment of cancer and other malignant diseases is gaining much research attention. The zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) are one of the most studied and promising semiconductor materials for applications in materials and medical sciences. In this study, we present optical properties of ZnO nanorods using Mueller matrix polarimetry to be suitable for its application in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Mueller matrix spectroscopic system capable of acquiring complete polarization information from single nanoparticle to nanostructure in term of transmittance, depolarization, retardance, and polarizance.
