We experimentally assess the validity of the symmetric decomposition of Mueller matrices [R. Ossikovski, J. Opt. Soc. Am A 26, 1109-1118 (2009)] into a sequence of five factors consisting of a diagonal depolarizer between two retarder and diattenuator pairs. The raw data were Mueller images of combinations of polarization components which were individually measured and then assembled in different combinations. The possibility to recover all the elements is discussed, including the experimentally relevant cases of "degenerate" depolarizers, with two equal eigenvalues, which were not explicitly considered in the general theory.
我们通过实验评估了穆勒矩阵[R. 奥西科夫斯基，《美国光学学会志A》26，1109 - 1118（2009年）]对称分解为五个因子序列的有效性，这五个因子由两个延迟器和衰减器对之间的对角去偏振器组成。原始数据是偏振分量组合的穆勒图像，这些偏振分量是单独测量的，然后以不同组合进行组装。讨论了恢复所有元素的可能性，包括“简并”去偏振器的实验相关情况，这种去偏振器具有两个相等的本征值，在一般理论中未明确考虑。
