Geometry of the Mueller matrix spectral decomposition

Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 2016
An arbitrary Mueller matrix can be decomposed into a sum of up to four deterministic Mueller-Jones matrices, with strengths given by the eigenvalues of an associated Hermitian matrix. A geometrical representation of the eigenvalues in terms of the matrix invariants, using a barycentric (quaternary) plot, is presented.

Back-focal plane Mueller matrix microscopy: Mueller conoscopy and Mueller diffractrometry

Applied Surface Science, 2017
Abstract The common mode of observation in an imaging Mueller matrix polarimeter is orthoscopic observation, where the front focal plane of the objective is focused onto the camera sensor. Different points on the camera sensor correspond to different points on the sample.

Mueller matrix of a dicot leaf

SPIE Proceedings, 2012
A better understanding of the information contained in the spectral, polarized bidirectional reflectance and transmittance of leaves may lead to improved techniques for identifying plant species in remotely sensed imagery as well as better estimates of plant moisture and nutritional status.

Mueller matrix by imaging polarimeter

SPIE Proceedings, 2012
Most of imaging polarimeters in the field measure only a few components of the Mueller matrix or their combinations such as Stokes vector, degree of linear polarization (DOLP) and degree of circular polarization (DOCP). Our imaging polarimeter was similar in that it produced two combinations of 16 Mueller components.

Mueller matrix description of scattering

Surface Roughness and Scattering, 1992
Scattering measurements of rough surfaces are usually made using linearly polarized light. There are four possibilities: ba = pp, sp, ps and ss, where a is the initial state of polarization and b is the final state. Such measurements may be adequate for determining the power spectral densities (PSDs) of smooth topographically rough surfaces, but they ...

Axisymmetrical Mueller matrix polarimeter

SPIE Proceedings, 2009
Mueller matrix polarimeter using the axisymmetrical polarized and analyzed optics is proposed. The axisymmetrical optics has a potential to bring out the polarization properties of a sample which kept in beam spot. A key device of this method is a detector named "a ring beam detector".

Error analysis for Mueller matrix measurement

Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 2003
The linear errors of Mueller matrix measurements are formulated for misalignment, depolarization, and incorrect retardation of the polarimetric components. The measured errors of a Mueller matrix depend not only on the imperfections of the measuring system but also on the Mueller matrix itself.

A Mueller matrix model of Haidinger's brushes

Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, 2003
Abstract Stokes vectors and Mueller matrices are used to model the polarisation properties (birefringence, dichroism and depolarisation) of any optical system, in particular the human eye. An explanation of the form and behaviour of the entoptic phenomenon of Haidinger's brushes is derived that complements and expands upon a previous ...

Automated Mueller matrix ellipsometry

Optics Communications, 1976
Abstract The application of rotating-compensator ellipsometry (RCE) to measurements of the system Mueller matrix M of linear optical systems is reported. This technique extends a previously reported procedure for automated Jones matrix ellipsometry to include systems that depolarize light.
