applied to many areas. A Mueller matrix is a complete mathematical description of the …

Polarized Light and Optical Systems presents polarization optics for undergraduate and
graduate students in a way which makes classroom teaching relevant to current issues in …

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 polarization properties of light scattered or diffusely reflected from seven different man-
made samples are studied. For each diffusely reflecting sample an in-plane Mueller matrix …

The study investigates the suitability of Sentinel-1 data product of C-band frequency (5.36
GHz) in the estimation of terrestrial biomass. The experiment was carried out in the …

An objective analysis is carried out of the matricial models representing the polarimetric
properties of light and material media leading to the identification and definition of their …

Advances in vectorial polarization-resolved imaging are bringing new capabilities to
applications ranging from fundamental physics through to clinical diagnosis. Imaging …

Prolonged periods of wet soil conditions, when present during critical crop development
stages, can significantly elevate the risk of some crop diseases. Wet soils in fields of …

The Mueller matrix is a mathematical description of how light is altered by an optical element
or a sample under study. It describes both intensity (irradiance) and polarization changes …

An imaging Stokes-vector polarimeter using liquid crystal variable retarders (LCVRs) has
been built and calibrated. Operating in five bands from 450 to 700 nm, the polarimeter can …
