Abstract

Many books on polarization give tables of Mueller matrices. Here we give a table of Mueller matrices M, coherency matrices C, and coherency matrix factors F for different polarization components. F is not given for some complicated cases. In many cases, though, F has a very simple form. The terms are defined in the Appendix.
