Photopolarimetric measurement of the Mueller matrix by Fourier analysis of a single detected signal.
TL;DR: All 16 elements of the Mueller matrix of an optical system (sample) can be encoded onto, hence can be retrieved from, a single detected signal using a class of photopolarimeters with modulated polarizing and analyzing optics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Propagation of partially polarized light through anisotropic media with or without depolarization: A differential 4 × 4 matrix calculus
TL;DR: In this article, the Stokes vector S of a light beam that propagates through a linear depolarizing anisotropic medium obeys the first-order linear differential equation dS/dz = mS, where z is the distance traveled along the direction of propagation and m is a 4 × 4 real matrix that summarizes the optical properties of the medium which influence the stokes vector.
Journal ArticleDOI
General analysis and optimization of the four- detector photopolarimeter
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the instrument matrix A, which relates the output signal vector I to the input Stokes vector S by I = AS, and its determinant are derived explicitly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stokes-vector and Mueller-matrix polarimetry [Invited].
TL;DR: This paper reviews the current status of instruments for measuring the full 4×1 Stokes vector S, which describes the state of polarization of totally or partially polarized light, and the 4×4 Mueller matrix M, which determines how the SOP is transformed as light interacts with a material sample or an optical element or system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fiber-optic four-detector polarimeter
TL;DR: In this paper, a fiber-optic four-detector polarimeter (FO-FDP) is presented, which consists of four externally induced incore fiber gratings together with four photodetectors.
