The polarizing and depolarizing properties of an optical system can be derived from the
experimental determination of its Mueller matrix. Constructing an algorithm to treat an …

Polarization is an important property of several physical phenomena such as Rayleigh and
Raman (High intensity Raman Interactions: A. Penzkofer, A. Lauberteau, and W. Kaiser …

Laser imaging set-ups permit characterization of the vectorial nature of the optical wave
which is transmitted by a medium or reflected by a target, from polarimetric formalisms such …

The concept of degree of polarization surfaces is introduced as an aid to classifying the
depolarization properties of Mueller matrices. Degree of polarization surfaces provide a …

An Up-to-Date Compendium on the Physics and Mathematics of Polarization Phenomena
Now thoroughly revised, Polarized Light and the Mueller Matrix Approach cohesively …

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

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 …

This paper explains a new method of extracting polarimetric data from a Mueller matrix.
Indeed, the main difficulty of this formalism lies in the extraction of the polarimetric …

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 …

Linear polarimetric transformations of light polarization states by the action of material media
are fully characterized by corresponding Mueller matrices, which contain, in an implicit and …
