Abstract Full Poincaré beams (FPBs) are proposed for polarimetric applications. Such
beams present all states of totally polarized light across their transverse section at once and …

Nonuniformly polarized light can be used for Mueller polarimetry of homogeneous linear
samples. In this work, a set up based on using azimuthally polarized input light and a …

The use of spirally polarized beams (SPBs) in polarimetric measurements of homogeneous
and deterministic samples is proposed. Since across any transverse plane such beams …

A new setup is proposed to perform high-speed Mueller polarimetry by spectral coding of
polarization in a reflection configuration. The system uses a swept laser source and a …

We show that an incomplete, nine-element Mueller matrix with a row and a column missing,
obtained in a partial polarimetry experiment, can be completed to a full, 16-element Mueller …

A new photopolarimetric measurement system of Mueller matrix of optical elements is
developed using dual rotating waveplates. The waveplates in polarization generator and …

We present rapid Mueller matrix polarimetry that can extract twelve Muller matrix elements
from a single intensity image in real time and with high spatial resolution. This is achieved by …

Two methods used to retrieve Mueller matrices from intensity measurements are revisited. It
is shown that with symmetry or orthogonality considerations, numerical inversions of …

The polarizing and depolarizing properties of an optical system can be derived from the
experimental determination of its Mueller matrix. Constructing an algorithm to treat an …

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 …
