We report the main conclusions from an interactive, multidisciplinary workshop on
“Polarimetric Techniques and Technology”, held on March 24-28 2014 at the Lorentz Center …

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

OBJECTIVES: The occurrence of “chipping” of all-ceramic restorations with Y-TZP
frameworks has resulted in various designs and cooling procedures recommended for …

In this paper we present the analysis, optimization and implementation of several Stokes
polarimeter configurations based on a set-up including two variable retarders. The …

This chapter explains the polarized light fundamentals and mathematical formulations of
polarized light and its propagation in biological tissues. It introduces the Stokes Mueller …

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 …

The main object of this chapter is to give an overview the possibilities offered by instruments
capable of measuring full Mueller matrices in the field of optical characterization. We have …

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 …

We consider imaging systems that measure the three first elements of the Stokes vector and
deduce from them the degree of linear polarization and the angle of polarization. They …

Single-snapshot full-Stokes imaging polarimetry is a powerful tool for the acquisition of the
spatial polarization information in real time. According to the general linear model of a …
