Mueller matrix differential decomposition.
We present a Mueller matrix decomposition based on the differential formulation of the Mueller calculus. The differential Mueller matrix is obtained from the macroscopic matrix through an eigenanalysis. It is subsequently resolved into the complete set of 16 differential matrices that correspond to the basic types of optical behavior for depolarizing anisotropic media. The method is successfull...
متن کاملellipsometry and Mueller matrix polarimetry
We characterized two samples consisting of photoresist layers on silicon with square arrays of square holes by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and Mueller matrix polarimetry (MMP). Hole lateral dimensions and depths were determined by fitting either SE data taken in conventional planar geometry or MMP data in general conical diffraction configurations. A method for objective determination of th...
متن کاملDefinition 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 کاملMueller matrix ellipsometry studies of nanostructured materials
Materials can be tailored on the nano-scale to show properties that cannot be found in bulk materials. Often these properties reveal themselves when electromagnetic radiation, e.g. light, interacts with the material. Numerous examples of such types of materials are found in nature. There are for example many insects and birds with exoskeletons or feathers that reflect light in special ways. Of ...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Mueller matrix for phytoplankton1
Measurement of the light-scattering Mueller matrix of phytoplankton cultures resulted in a characteristic Mueller matrix much like that of seawater. Voss and Fry (1984) measured the scattering of polarized light by ocean water. We here report measurements of various phytoplankton cultures made to further our understanding of the ocean water measurements. To quantify changes in polarization due ...
