We report on the optimization of a snapshot Mueller matrix polarimeter performed by using
singular-value decomposition. The snapshot technique relies on wavelength polarization …

The biplate that consists of two single wave plates made from birefringent materials with
their fast axes oriented perpendicular to each other is one of the most commonly used …

In the polarizer-compensator-system-analyzer (PCSA) ellipsometer arrangement the nulling
scheme in which P is set and C and A are adjusted for null provides the largest number of …

The nonlinear error of the ellipsometric parameters (EP) has been investigated by many
researchers in terms of the imperfection of polarizing beam splitters (PBS), the elliptical …

We address calibration of Mueller polarimeters in transmission configuration and in the
presence of noise. By comparing the maximum likelihood (ML) method and the extended …

A return-path null ellipsometer (RPNE), whose polarizing/analysing optics (PAO) consist of a
linear polarizer and a linear quarter-wave retarder (QWR), provides only two independent …

Mueller polarimetry performed in low light field with high speed and accuracy is important for
the diagnosis of living biological tissues. However, efficient acquisition of the Mueller matrix …

The retardation of two quarter-wave plates designed for a particular wavelength decreases
or increases in accordance with the wavelength of input light beam. Compensating the …

For measurements of the Mueller matrix and other polarization effect matrices in a
birefringent optical system, such as an optical fiber, we demonstrate by theoretical analysis …

A simple partial Mueller polarimeter is described, consisting of two linear polarizers and two
liquid crystal variable retarders. The measurement leads to an incomplete Mueller–Scierski …
