Mueller matrix polarimetry constitutes a nondestructive powerful tool for the analysis of material samples that is used today in an enormous variety of applications. Depolarizing samples exhibit, in general, a complicated physical behavior…

Linear polarimetric transformations of light polarization states by the action of material media are fully characterized by the corresponding Mueller matrices, which contain in an implicit and intricate manner all measurable information on…

Despite the virtues of Jones and Mueller formalisms for the representation of the polarimetric properties, for some purposes in both Optics and SAR Polarimetry, the concept of coherency vector associated with a nondepolarizing medium has…

The depolarization properties of a medium with associated Mueller matrix M are characterized through two complementary sets of parameters, namely the three indices of polarimetric purity (IPP), which are directly linked to the relative…

Through a simple procedure based on the Lu-Chipman decomposition [S-Y. Lu and R. C. Chipman, J. Opt. Soc. Am A 13, 1106 (1996)] any depolarizing Mueller matrix can be transformed into a reduced form which accumulates the depolarization and…

With assumption that an optical element is described by a Mueller matrix of the Lorentzian type, a method to find a 3-dimensional complex vector parameter for a corresponding Mueller matrix from results of four specially chosen polarization…

In the study of polarized light, there are two basic notions: the Stokes vectors and the matrices which preserve them, called Mueller matrices. The set of Stokes vectors forms a cone: the Future Light Cone. In this work we will see that the…

Advances in vectorial polarisation-resolved imaging are bringing new capabilities to applications ranging from fundamental physics through to clinical diagnosis. Imaging polarimetry requires determination of the Mueller matrix (MM) at every…

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…

Inspecting three-dimensional partially polarized light fields we show that there is no unambiguous correspondence between the three-dimensional field and coherence matrix (or light beam tensor). Therefore, it is needed to clarify the…

From an appropriate parameterization of the three-dimensional (3D) coherency matrix R, that characterizes the second-order, classical states of polarization, the coherency matrices are classified and interpreted in terms of incoherent…

Forward models for the Mueller Matrix (MM) components of materials with relative magnetic permeability tensor {\mu} \neq 1 are studied. 4x4 matrix formalism is employed to produce general solutions for the complex reflection coefficients…

In the context of applying the Lorentz group theory to polarization optics in the frames of Stokes-Mueller formalism, some properties of the Lorentz group are investigated. We start with the factorized form of arbitrary Lorentz matrix as a…

While any two-dimensional mixed state of polarization of light can be represented by a combination of a pure state and a fully random state, any Mueller matrix can be represented by a convex combination of a pure component and three…

Mueller matrices are defined with respect to appropriate Cartesian reference frames for the representation of the states of polarization of the input and output electromagnetic waves. The polarimetric quantities that are invariant under…

Any one measurement with polarized light makes it possible to fix the Mueller matrices of the Lorentz type with up to four arbitrary numeric parameters (x, u; z, w). These parameters are subject to the quadratic condition. It is…

This paper provides a theoretical explanation on the clustering aspect of nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF). We prove that even without imposing orthogonality nor sparsity constraint on the basis and/or coefficient matrix, NMF still…

We demonstrate that the multipoles associated with the density matrix are truly observable quantities that can be unambiguously determined from intensity moments. Given their correct transformation properties, these multipoles are the…

We give a criterion for H-convergence of conductivity matrices in terms of ordinary weak convergence of the factors in certain quotient representations of the matrices.

An arbitrary Mueller matrix can be decomposed into a sum of up to four deterministic Mueller-Jones matrices, with strengths given by the eigenvalues of an associated Hermitian matrix. A geometrical representation of the eigenvalues in terms…
