In this work, we present a new method that allows directly obtaining the polarization
properties from measured macroscopic Mueller matrices without decomposition. The …

The normal form of a depolarizing Mueller matrix constitutes an important tool for the
phenomenological interpretation of experimental polarimetric data. Due to its structure as a …

This study deals with the interpretation of experimental Mueller matrices. The understanding
of such a matrix is not straightforward in the case, in particular, of a strongly depolarizing …

Unlike optical elements, medium such as tissue usually has several polarization properties
simultaneously. So it is desirable to identify the existence of types of optical behaviors and …

The advent of imagers with integrated linear polarization selectivity opens new opportunities
for researchers interested in the polarization properties of biological tissues. In this Letter …

The differential Mueller matrix is an important concept for analyzing the polarization
properties of an optically homogeneous anisotropic sample, both nondepolarizing and …

Mueller polarimetry involves a variety of instruments and technologies whose importance
and scope of applications are rapidly increasing. The exploitation of these powerful …

We show that, by suitably defining the integral decomposition of a depolarizing Mueller
matrix, it becomes possible to fully interpret the polarization response of the medium or …

We present a Mueller matrix decomposition based on the differential formulation of the
Mueller calculus. The differential Mueller matrix is obtained from the macroscopic matrix …

Mueller matrix differential decomposition is a novel method for retrieving the polarimetric
properties of general depolarizing anisotropic media [N. Ortega-Quijano and JL Arce-Diego …
