One of the important properties of an optical wavefront is the transverse field distribution of
the beam, that is, the distribution of its amplitude and phase as well as its polarization state …

In this brief review, we summarize and elaborate on some of the nomenclature of polaritonic
phenomena and systems as they appear in the literature on quantum materials and …

We extend the scope of the Mueller calculus to parallel that established by Jones for his
calculus. We find that the Stokes vector S of a light beam that propagates through a linear …

Polarization involves the vectorial nature of light fields. In current applications of optical
science, the electromagnetic description of light with its vector features has been shown to …

The design and operation of a Mueller matrix imaging polarimeter is presented. The
instrument is configurable to make a wide variety of polarimetric measurements of optical …
