TLDR
In this article, the authors derived the depolarization index and the direct and reciprocal polarization indices from the Mueller matrix of any optical system and used them to estimate the power of the optical system.Abstract:
The depolarization index and the direct and reciprocal polarization indices may be derived from the Mueller matrix of any optical system. These indices give direct information about the depolarizing and polarizing power of the optical system.read more

Polarimetric characterization of light and media - Physical quantities involved in polarimetric phenomena
TL;DR: An objective analysis is carried out of the matricial models representing the polarimetric properties of light and material media leading to the identification and definition of their corresponding physical quantities, using the concept of the coherency matrix, which constitutes a powerful tool for analyzing and exploiting experimental and industrial polarimetry.

Scattering Matrices and Reciprocity Relationships for Various Representations of the State of Polarization
TL;DR: In this article, the reciprocity relationships when the incident and scattered beams are interchanged or when their directions of propagations are reversed, can be expressed in terms of a transposition of the original scattering matrix accompanied by pre and post-multiplication by certain diagonal matrices that incorporate the changes in the sign of some elements of the scattering matrix after transposition.
