Definition of a parametric form of nonsingular Mueller matrices.
The goal of this paper is to propose a mathematical framework to define and analyze a general parametric form of an arbitrary nonsingular Mueller matrix. Starting from previous results about nondepolarizing matrices, we generalize the method to any nonsingular Mueller matrix. We address this problem in a six-dimensional space in order to introduce a transformation group with the same number of ...
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 کاملProperties of Central Symmetric X-Form Matrices
In this paper we introduce a special form of symmetric matrices that is called central symmetric $X$-form matrix and study some properties, the inverse eigenvalue problem and inverse singular value problem for these matrices.
متن کاملA depolarization criterion in Mueller matrices
A necessary and sufficient scalar condition for a Mueller matrix M to describe a non-depolarizing optical system is obtained. By computing only one scalar parameter, it can be determined whether a given Mueller matrix M describes a non-depolarizing, or a depolarizing optical system. The following theorem is stated: a necessary and sufficient condition for a given Mueller matrix M to describe a ...
