An Up-to-Date Compendium on the Physics and Mathematics of
Polarization Phenomena Now thoroughly revised, Polarized Light and
the Mueller Matrix Approach cohesively integrates basic concepts of
polarization phenomena from the dual viewpoints of the states of
polarization of electromagnetic waves and the transformations of
these states by the action of material media. Through selected
examples, it also illustrates actual and potential applications in
materials science, biology, and optics technology. The book begins
with the basic concepts related to two- and three-dimensional
polarization states. It next describes the nondepolarizing linear
transformations of the states of polarization through the Jones and
Mueller-Jones approaches. The authors then discuss the forms and
properties of the Jones and Mueller matrices associated with
different types of nondepolarizing media, address the foundations
of the Mueller matrix, and delve more deeply into the analysis of
the physical parameters associated with Mueller matrices. The
authors proceed with introducing the arbitrary decomposition and
other useful parallel decompositions, and compare the powerful
serial decompositions of depolarizing Mueller matrices. They also
analyze the general formalism and specific algebraic quantities and
notions related to the concept of differential Mueller matrix.
Useful approaches that provide a geometric point of view on the
polarization effects exhibited by different types of media are also
comprehensively described. The book concludes with a new chapter
devoted to the main procedures for filtering measured Mueller
matrices. Suitable for advanced graduates and more seasoned
professionals, this book covers the main aspects of polarized
radiation and polarization effects of material media. It expertly
combines physical and mathematical concepts with important
approaches for representing media through equivalent systems
composed of simple components.
