Polarization is an important property of several physical phenomena such as Rayleigh and
Raman (High intensity Raman Interactions: A. Penzkofer, A. Lauberteau, and W. Kaiser …

Laser imaging set-ups permit characterization of the vectorial nature of the optical wave
which is transmitted by a medium or reflected by a target, from polarimetric formalisms such …

An Up-to-Date Compendium on the Physics and Mathematics of Polarization Phenomena
Now thoroughly revised, Polarized Light and the Mueller Matrix Approach cohesively …

The concept of degree of polarization surfaces is introduced as an aid to classifying the
depolarization properties of Mueller matrices. Degree of polarization surfaces provide a …

The issue of physical realizability constraints on depolarizing scattering or imaging systems
is addressed. In particular, the overpolarization problem, ie, the problem of ensuring that the …

We present a Mueller matrix decomposition based on the differential formulation of the
Mueller calculus. The differential Mueller matrix is obtained from the macroscopic matrix …

We present a theoretical analysis on use of polarized light in the detection of a model target
in a scattering and absorbing medium similar to seawater. Monte Carlo numerical …

Mueller matrices are defined with respect to appropriate Cartesian reference frames for the
representation of the states of polarization of the input and output electromagnetic probe …

In this paper we derive the constraints imposed on an arbitrary 4x4 real matrix such that it
correspond to a physically realisable Mueller matrix M. These constraints are important, in …

In this Letter we present the equations to calculate the six independent polarization effects of
an arbitrary normalized Mueller-Jones matrix corresponding to homogenous media. A …
