We demonstrate a Mueller polarimeter in which the polarization-state generator and
analyzer are both composed of a linear polarizer and two liquid-crystal variable retarders …

A Mueller-matrix polarimeter in transmission mode using two electronically controlled liquid-
crystal variable retarders has been developed. Its design, theory and calibration are …

A new spectroscopic Mueller matrix polarimeter based on liquid crystal devices is presented.
Fast spectroscopic measurements (approx. 1 s) of a complete Mueller matrix with 1 nm …

A Mueller polarimeter always comprises a polarization state generator (PSG) and a
polarization state analyzer (PSA), whose configurations determine the modulation and …

Calibration of polarization-state generators (PSG's), polarimeters, and Mueller-matrix
ellipsometers (MME's) is an important factor in the practical use of these instruments. A new …

The relationship between system condition and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in reconstructed
Stokes parameter images is investigated for rotating compensator, variable retardance, and …

The dual-rotating-retarder configuration is one of the most common forms of the Mueller
matrix polarimeter. I perform an optimization of this polarimeter configuration by minimizing …

We present a new, to the best of our knowledge, experimental configuration of Mueller
matrix polarimeter based on wavelength polarization coding. This is a compact and fast …

Methods are presented for optimizing the design of Mueller matrix polarimeters and and in
particular selecting the retardances and orientation angles of polarization components to …

A new instrument for rapid and accurate measurement of the Mueller matrix is described.
Distinct measurements of all sixteen elements are made simultaneously and with an …
