This chapter describes approaches to understanding the physics of the interaction of
polarized beams with natural scenes and to searching for informative and useful polarimetric …

We address the optimal configuration of a partial Mueller matrix polarimeter used to
determine the ellipsometric parameters in the presence of additive Gaussian noise and …

In this paper, we introduce a novel class of systems called channeled partial Mueller matrix
polarimeters (c-pMMPs). Their analysis benefits greatly by drawing from the concepts of …

The dual rotating-compensator Mueller matrix ellipsometer based on the optical
configuration PC1r (ω1) SC2r (ω2) A has been developed recently with many applications …

We present a new method that allows efficient spectral calibration for a polarization state
analyzer. The procedure does not require any additional polarization optical element other …

A universal measurement uncertainty evaluation procedure is required for different types of
multichannel rotating-element spectroscopic ellipsometers (RE-SEs) used in modern …

It is well known that in liquid crystal (LC)-based active polarimetry, alignment and
temperature effects impact polarimeter performance. Practically speaking, when constructing …

Polarimetric imaging is a growing topic of interest in computer vision for resolving the
toughest edge cases and adversarial problems in detection and reconstruction where …

In this work, the four optimum azimuthal angles are determined for a full-Stokes scanning
polarimeter comprising a rectangular prism, quarter-wave plate, and four linear polarizers …

In this paper, we propose a criterion for bounding the relative errors associated with the
determination of the Stokes vector that describes the state of polarization of a light beam. No …
