A hybrid model comprising the differential Mueller matrix formalism and the Mueller matrix
decomposition method is proposed for extracting the linear birefringence (LB), linear …

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 …

A robust way of measuring the optical properties of any material is to interrogate it with light
of different polarizations. The 16-element Mueller matrix provides the most complete …

Recently, an order-independent Mueller matrix decomposition was proposed in an effort to
elucidate the nine depolarization degrees of freedom [Handbook of Optics, Vol. 1 of Mueller …

We demonstrate the first application of the differential depolarization index (DDI) for
depolarization imaging in polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) …

Abstract The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) advances studies of solar
magnetism through high-precision and accuracy in polarimetry at frontier spatial and …

The degree of polarimetric purity of a Mueller matrix, also called “depolarization index”[Opt.
Acta 33, 185 (1986)] is expressed as a quadratic average of two contributions of different …

Tissue‐depolarization and linear‐retardance are the main polarization characteristics of
interest for bulk tissue characterization, and are normally interpreted from Mueller …

Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) is designed to deliver accurate
spectropolarimetric solar data across a wide wavelength range, covering a large field of …

This paper aims at reviewing the recent published works dealing with industrial applications
which rely on polarization imaging. A general introduction presents the basics of polarimetry …
