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 کاملMueller matrix interpolation in polarization optics.
The question of the physical significance of the Mueller matrix average is addressed by means of an analysis of interpolation processes. We draw a comparison between two interpolation processes. The first one is related to the classical Euclidean metrics and the second one is based on the log-Euclidean metrics. Both the associated interpolation procedures are depicted with their underlying phys...
متن کاملTwo-channel snapshot Mueller matrix polarimeter.
We describe a new setup for a snapshot Mueller matrix polarimeter (SMMP). It relies on the separation and orthogonal polarization of two light beams by a Wollaston prism located at the setup output. The simultaneous treatment of the two spectra allows an enhancement of accuracy for real-time measurements through reduction of the effects caused by random noise and systematic errors. Moreover, it...
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 ...
