Interpretation of Mueller matrices based on polar decomposition

SY Lu, RA Chipman - JOSA A, 1996 - opg.optica.org
We present an algorithm that decomposes a Mueller matrix into a sequence of three matrix
factors: a diattenuator, followed by a retarder, then followed by a depolarizer. Those factors …

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 …

Mueller matrix polarimetry of electro-optic PLZT spatial light modulators

EA Sornsin, RA Chipman - International Symposium on …, 1996 - spiedigitallibrary.org
Mueller matrix polarimetry has been used to determine operational efficiency and material
quality in lead-lanthanum-zirconium-titanate (PLZT) electro-optic modulators. PLZT is a …
