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 …

Mueller matrix differential decomposition is a novel method for analyzing the polarimetric
properties of optical samples. It is performed through an eigenanalysis of the Mueller matrix …

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 …

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

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

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 …

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 experimentally assess the validity of the symmetric decomposition of Mueller matrices
[R. Ossikovski, J. Opt. Soc. Am A 26, 1109-1118 (2009)] into a sequence of five factors …

We experimentally assess the validity of the reverse polar decomposition (R. Ossikovski et
al., Opt. Lett. 32, 689 (2007)), which describes any Mueller matrix as a product of a …

Nondepolarizing Mueller matrices contain up to seven independent parameters. However,
these seven parameters typically do not appear explicitly among the measured 16 …
