Interpretation of measured 3x3 partial depolarizing Mueller matrices
Jose J. Gil, Ignacio San Jose, Monica Canabal-Carbia +3
Mueller polarimetry is a powerful technique with broad applications in astronomy, remote sensing, advanced material analysis, and biomedical imaging. However, instrumental constrai…
Coherency vector formalism for polarimetric transformations
Ignacio San José, José J. Gil
Despite the virtues of Jones and Mueller formalisms for the representation of the polarimetric properties, for some purposes in both Optics and SAR Polarimetry, the concept of cohe…
Retarding parallel components of a Mueller matrix
Ignacio San José, José J. Gil
Mueller matrix polarimetry constitutes a nondestructive powerful tool for the analysis of material samples that is used today in an enormous variety of applications. Depolarizing s…
Characterization of passivity in Mueller matrices
Ignacio San José, José J. Gil
Except for very particular and artificial experimental configurations, linear transformations of the state of polarization of an electromagnetic wave result in a reduction of the i…
Arbitrary decomposition of a Mueller matrix
José J. Gil, Ignacio San José
Mueller polarimetry involves a variety of instruments and technologies whose importance and scope of applications are rapidly increasing. The exploitation of these powerful resourc…
Invariant quantities of a nondepolarizing Mueller matrix
Jose J. Gil, Ignacio San Jose
Orthogonal Mueller matrices can be considered either as corresponding to retarders or to generalized transformations of the polarization basis for the representation of Stokes vect…
Two-vector representation of a nondepolarizing Mueller matrix
José J. Gil, Ignacio San José
A geometric view of the polarimetric properties of a nondepolarizing medium is presented by means of a pair of vectors in the Poincaré sphere. An alternative representation constit…
Singular Mueller matrices
Jose J. Gil, Razvigor Ossikovski, Ignacio San Jose
Singular Mueller matrices play an important role in polarization algebra and have peculiar properties that stem from the fact that either the medium exhibits maximum diattenuation…
Reduced form of a Mueller matrix
Jose J. Gil, Ignacio San Jose
Through a simple procedure based on the Lu-Chipman decomposition [S-Y. Lu and R. C. Chipman, J. Opt. Soc. Am A 13, 1106 (1996)] any depolarizing Mueller matrix can be transformed i…
Invariant indices of polarimetric purity. Generalized indices of purity for nxn covariance matrices
I. San Jose, J. J. Gil
A proper set of indices characterizing the polarimetric purity of light and material media is defined from the eigenvalues of the corresponding coherency matrix. A simple and gener…
