Depolarizing power and polarization entropy of light scattering media: experiment and theory
Graciana Puentes, Dirk Voigt, Andrea Aiello +1
We experimentally investigate the depolarizing power and the polarization entropy of a broad class of scattering optical media. By means of polarization tomography, these quantitie…
Linear Algebra for Mueller Calculus
A. Aiello, J. P. Woerdman
We give a self-contained exposition of some mathematical aspects of the Mueller-Stokes formalism. In the first part we review some basic notions of linear algebra and establish a p…
Physical Bounds to the Entropy-Depolarization Relation in Random Light Scattering
A. Aiello, J. P. Woerdman
We present a theoretical study of multi-mode scattering of light by optically random media, using the Mueller-Stokes formalism which permits to encode all the polarization properti…
Huygens description of resonance phenomena in subwavelength hole arrays
C. Genet, M. P. van Exter, J. P. Woerdman
We develop a point-scattering approach to the plane-wave optical transmission of subwavelength metal hole arrays. We present a real space description instead of the more convention…
Polarization tomography of metallic nanohole arrays
E. Altewischer, C. Genet, M. P. van Exter +4
We report polarization tomography experiments on metallic nanohole arrays with square and hexagonal symmetry. As a main result, we find that a fully polarized input beam is partly…
Intrinsic Entanglement Degradation by Multi-Mode Detection
A. Aiello, J. P. Woerdman
Relations between photon scattering, entanglement and multi-mode detection are investigated. We first establish a general framework in which one- and two-photon elastic scattering…
