TLDR
In this paper, a general Fourier analysis of the Stokes parameters used for extracting the Mueller-Stokes matrix elements is made, and it is shown that by using an elliptically polarized beam in conjunction with a rotating half-wave plate only a d.c. and fourth harmonic terms arise whose coefficients are the Mueller Stokes matrices.

Absolute Mueller Polarimeters Based on Dual-Rotating Imperfect Retarders and Arbitrary Ratio of Angular Velocities

José J. Gil
- 21 Apr 2023 - 
TL;DR: In this article , the periodic intensity signal containing the information of all sixteen Mueller elements of depolarizing or nondepolarizing samples is determined for different ratios of angular velocities and non-ideal retarders, which are mathematically modeled with arbitrary retardances and take into account the possible diattenuating effect exhibited by both retarders.

Automated Mueller matrix ellipsometry

TL;DR: In this article, the application of rotating compensator ellipsometry (RCE) to measurements of the system Mueller matrix M of linear optical systems is reported, which extends a previously reported procedure for automated Jones matrix ellipsometric to include systems that depolarize light.
