Polarization Tomography with Stokes Parameters [PDF]
We present a simple but powerful technique for the analysis of polarized emission from radio galaxies and other objects. It is based on the fact that images of Stokes parameters often contain considerably more information than is available in polarized ...

Decoupling metasurface parameters for independent Stokes polarization control via generalized lattice [PDF]
The ability to achieve comprehensive control over all Stokes parameters, including both the state of polarization (SoP) and the degree of polarization (DoP), is fundamental to advancements in quantum optics, imaging, and optical communications.

Estimation of Degree of Polarization in Low Light Using Truncated Poisson Distribution
The Degree of Polarization (DoP) of a light beam inside a medium contains unique information about the medium. 3D imaging techniques constitute an optimal procedure for determining the DoP under low light conditions, as the computational reconstruction ...

The Effect of Anisotropic Gaussian Schell-Model Sources in Generalized Phase Space Stokes Parameters
Phase-space transforms describe spatial and angular information about light sources where one example is the Wigner functions in wave optics. Stokes parameters, on the other hand, supply information about the polarization of light beams.

Direct determination of the generalized Stokes parameters from the usual Stokes parameters [PDF]
We report an experimental method to determine the generalized Stokes parameters for a pair of points in the cross section of an electromagnetic beam, e.g., an expanded laser beam, with the help of a Young's interferometer and a set of polarizers and quarter-wave plates.

Coherence Stokes Parameters in the Description of Electromagnetic Coherence
The two-point counterparts of the traditional Stokes parameters, which are called the coherence Stokes parameters, have recently been extensively used for assessing the coherence properties of random electromagnetic light beams.
