Mueller polarimetry is a powerful optical technique in the analysis of micro-structural
properties of optical samples. However, there is no explicit relationship between individual …

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 …

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

A minimum of 16 measurements involving both linear and circularly polarized light are
required to determine the Mueller matrix of a sample which completely describes the …

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 …

Conventional generalized ellipsometry instrumentation is capable of measuring 12 out of the
16 elements of the Mueller matrix of the sample. The missing column (or row) of the …

Polarization images contain abundant microstructural information of samples. Recently, as a
comprehensive description of the structural and optical properties of complex media, the …

Mueller matrix microscopy is an advanced imaging technique providing a full
characterization of the optical polarization fingerprint of a sample. The Lu-Chipman (LC) …
