Decomposition and interpretation of Mueller matrices

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2010
The various decompositions of depolarizing Mueller matrices into products of basic optical devices, i.e. retarders, diattenuators and depolarizers, are critically revisited.

Depth-resolved two-dimensional Stokes vectors of backscattered light and Mueller matrices of biological tissue measured with optical coherence tomography [PDF]

, 2000
Mueller matrices provide a complete characterization of the optical polarization properties of biological tissue. A polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (OCT) system was built and used to investigate the optical polarization properties of ...

Efficient Rigorous Coupled-Wave Analysis Simulation of Mueller Matrix Ellipsometry of Three-Dimensional Multilayer Nanostructures

Nanomaterials, 2022
Mueller matrix ellipsometry (MME) is a powerful metrology tool for nanomanufacturing. The application of MME necessitates electromagnetic computations for inverse problems of metrology determination in both the conventional optimization process and the ...

Mueller Matrix Associated with an Arbitrary 4×4 Real Matrix. The Effective Component of a Mueller Matrix

Photonics
Due to the limited accuracy of experimental data, Mueller polarimetry can produce real 4×4 matrices that fail to meet required covariance or passivity conditions.

Monochromatic Depolarizer Based on Liquid Crystal

Crystals, 2019
Polarization is a very useful parameter of a light beam in many optical measurements. Improvement of holographic systems requires optical elements which need a diffused and depolarized light beam.

Three-Photon Stokes Mueller Polarimetry

, 2015
The generalized theory of Stokes Mueller polarimetry is employed to develop the third-order optical polarimetry framework for third-harmonic generation (THG). The outgoing and incoming radiations are represented by 4-element and 16-element column vectors,

Full Poincaré Mueller Polarimetry Using a CCD Camera

Photonics, 2022
A new method is proposed to perform Mueller matrix polarimetry using a Full Poincaré beam (i.e., a non-uniformly polarized beam presenting all polarization states across its section) as a parallel polarization state generator and a charge-coupled device (

Nonlinear Stokes Mueller Polarimetry

, 2015
The Stokes Mueller polarimetry is generalized to include nonlinear optical processes such as second- and third-harmonic generation, sum- and difference-frequency generations.

Parallel decompositions of Mueller matrices and polarimetric subtraction

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2010
From a general formulation of the physically realizable parallel decompositions of the Mueller matrix M of a given depolarizing system, a procedure for determining the set of pure Mueller matrices susceptible to be subtracted from M is presented. This
