چکیده
Many books on polarization give tables of Mueller matrices. The coherency matrix has been found useful for interpretetion the matrix. Here we a table matrices M, C, and factors F different components systems. is not given some complicated nondeterministic cases. In many cases, though, very simple form. particular, expressions general case an homogeneous elliptic diattenuating retarder. Different coordinate systems describing retarders are compared, generalized retardation sphere, analogous to Poincaré sphere. For deterministic case, have particularly forms Cartesian or stereographic coordinates in space.

Optical coherency matrix tomography
The coherence of an optical beam having multiple degrees of freedom (DoFs) is described by a coherency matrix G spanning these DoFs. This optical coherency matrix has not been measured in its entirety to date--even in the simplest case of two binary DoFs where G is a 4 × 4 matrix. We establish a methodical yet versatile approach--optical coherency matrix tomography--for reconstructing G that ex...
متن کاملSingular Mueller matrices.
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 and/or polarizance or because its associated canonical depolarizer has the property of fully randomizing the circular component (at least) of the states of polarization of light incident on it. The formal reasons for ...
متن کاملDepolarizing differential Mueller matrices.
The evolution of a polarized beam can be described by the differential formulation of Mueller calculus. The nondepolarizing differential Mueller matrices are well known. However, they only account for 7 out of the 16 independent parameters that are necessary to model a general anisotropic depolarizing medium. In this work we present the nine differential Mueller matrices for general depolarizin...
متن کاملConversational Coherency
A major goal of this work is to specify some steps of the process by which participants maintain coherency in their conversations. The underlying element of the analysis is a construct called a 'context space'. Roughly, a group of utterances that refers to a single issue or episode forms the basis for a context space. Superficially a conversation is a sequence of utterances; at a deeper level i...
متن کاملTwo-point optical coherency matrix tomography.
The two-point coherence of an electromagnetic field is represented completely by a 4×4 coherency matrix G that encodes the joint polarization-spatial-field correlations. Here, we describe a systematic sequence of cascaded spatial and polarization projective measurements that are sufficient to tomographically reconstruct G--a task that, to the best of our knowledge, has not yet been realized. Ou...
