摘要随着天文探测水平的提高, 偏振像差对天文望远镜成像质量的影响逐渐凸显.
基于偏振光线追迹, 分析了一种用于探测宇宙弱引力透镜效应的无遮拦离轴天文望远镜的偏振像 …

We show that the coherency matrix associated with a general depolarizing Mueller matrix
can be factorized into the product of a matrix, the coherency matrix factor, and its conjugate …

Many books on polarization give tables of Mueller matrices. The coherency matrix has been
found useful for interpretetion of the Mueller matrix. Here we give a table of Mueller matrices …

An important approach to interpretation of the Mueller matrix is based on the eigenvalues of
the coherency matrix, given by the roots of a quartic characteristic equation. For the case of …

A long-standing problem in polarized light microscopy has been the inability, due to
polarization aberrations, to achieve simultaneously high spatial resolution and high contrast …

Polarization aberrations by highlighting the concepts of polarization aberration fields and of
wavefronts of two sheets are explained. The fields have a vector character and are derived …

The coatings used on telescope mirrors and other optical interfaces can have a marked
effect on an optical system's image quality. We describe the wave-front aberrations …

Low polarization systems have important advantages in many applications. Thanks to be
with seven free design parameters, three-mirror reflective systems have good potential to …

The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) is a future generation telescope proposed to be located in
Mauna Kea, Hawaii or in La Palma in the Canary Islands. The telescope will have a …

In the previous paper in this series [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A7, 1614 (1990)] a formulation was
established for the calculation and analysis of diffraction image quality in polarizing optical …
