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 Monte Carlo simulation was performed for an infinite plane medium containing spherical
particles as well as a chiral component. The optical activity shifts patterns in the two …

As there exists an inconsistency in claiming the symmetrical relations in the 16 Mueller
matrix elements used to describe a turbid medium, the author restudies the symmetrical …

Depolarization has been found to be a useful contrast mechanism in biological and medical
imaging. The Mueller matrix can be used to describe polarization effects of a depolarizing …

We have developed a Monte Carlo algorithm that computes all two-dimensional elements of
the diffuse backscattering Mueller matrix for highly scattering media. Using the Stokes …

Abstract In our recent Letter,[1] several typographical errors were present. On p. 487, in Fig.
2, the equations for the following Mueller matrix elements should read as S 14= RO-LO, S …

Jones and Mueller matrices for specular reflection from a chiral medium: determination of the
basic chiral parameters using the elements of the Mueller matrix and experimental …

Measurements of a reduced Mueller matrix in backscattering from highly diffusive, dielectric
samples are reported as a function of the angle of incidence. It was found that the off …

The Mueller matrix model for inhomogeneous medium characterized by simultaneous linear
and circular birefringence for single scattering in the forward direction is derived. We find …

We present both experimental and Monte Carlo–based simulation results for the diffusely
backscattered intensity patterns that arise from illumination of a turbid medium with a …
