Depolarization in the Mueller calculus
Depolarization is the generation of partially polarized light or unpolarized light from a completely polarized incident beam. For example when polarized light scatters from rough surfaces, the degree of polarization is usually reduced from one. Depolarization figures of merit are discussed and difficulties with the depolarization index are highlighted.

Generalized Jones-Mueller polarization calculus
The Jones calculus and the Stokes-Mueller calculus are generalized to describe changes not only in the state of polariztion but also of the state of coherence of electromagnetic beams passing through linear devices.

Imaging of biological tissues with optical coherence tomography system using Jones-Mueller calculus
The exact tissue parameters measurement predicts about the malignant and normal tissues. We have established the analytical modeling with Jones-Mueller matrix , which experimentally extract the birefringence, depolarization, absorption and scattering information of tissues.

Mueller calculus of polarization change in the cube-corner retroreflector
The optical ray properties of the cube-corner retroreflector (CCR) are first recalled. The change of polarization of the radiation due to CCR reflection is then derived by use of the Mueller matrix calculus. It is found that, in general, when the faces are not ideal reflectors, the useful cross section of the CCR consists of six zones, each of which ...

Robust overlay metrology by Mueller matrix ellipsometry with a differential calculus
The differential Mueller matrix calculus is introduced to investigate Mueller matrices of double-patterned gratings with overlay displacements. We find and demonstrate that the linear birefringence and dichroism, LB' and LD', along the ±45° axes obtained from the differential calculus show a linear response to the overlay displacement and are zero when

Transmission by Anisotropic Media: The Jones and Mueller Calculus
Abstract The majority of polarizing elements used to design optical rheometers, and most sample geometries in optical rheometry, involve transmission of light through anisotropic materials. This interaction will generally induce a transformation in the polarization.

Mueller calculus and perfect polarization conversion modes in liquid crystal displays
We introduce a 4×4 Mueller matrix for describing the polarization states of a liquid crystal cell. Using this Mueller matrix, it is possible to derive conditions whereby a linearly polarized input can be converted to either a perfectly linearly or perfectly circularly polarized output.
