Nondepolarizing Mueller matrices contain up to seven independent parameters. However,
these seven parameters typically do not appear explicitly among the measured 16 …

Conventional generalized ellipsometry instrumentation is capable of measuring 12 out of the
16 elements of the Mueller matrix of the sample. The missing column (or row) of the …

Starting from the first principles, we derive the expressions governing partially coherent
Mueller matrix reflection polarimetry on spatially inhomogeneous samples. These are …

Starting from the statistical definition of the Mueller matrix, we derive the relationships
between basic properties, such as the number of contact points of the characteristic ellipsoid …

[eng] Jones matrix and nondepolarizing Mueller matrix are the basic elements of the
calculus of polarization optics. In this thesis we discus other forms that can be used to …

In this paper, a decomposition equation of Mueller matrices is presented to analyze the
depolarizing samples. The proposed equation is performed by means of the decomposition …

Experimental Mueller matrices contain certain amount of uncertainty in their elements and
these uncertainties can create difficulties for decomposition methods based on analytic …
