Abstract

Mueller matrix differential decomposition is a novel method for retrieving the polarimetric properties of general depolarizing anisotropic media [N. Ortega-Quijano and J. L. Arce-Diego, Opt. Lett. 36, 1942 (2011), R. Ossikovski, Opt. Lett. 36, 2330 (2011)]. The method has been verified for Mueller matrices available in the literature. We experimentally validate the decomposition for five different experimental setups with different commutation properties and controlled optical parameters, comparing the differential decomposition with the forward and reverse polar decompositions. The results enable to verify the method and to highlight its advantages for certain experimental applications of high interest.

摘要

穆勒矩阵微分分解是一种用于获取一般去极化各向异性介质偏振特性的新方法 [N. 奥尔特加 - 基哈诺和 J. L. 阿尔塞 - 迭戈，《光学快报》36, 1942 (2011)，R. 奥西科夫斯基，《光学快报》36, 2330 (2011)]。该方法已针对文献中可用的穆勒矩阵进行了验证。我们通过实验验证了五种具有不同换向特性和可控光学参数的不同实验装置的分解情况，将微分分解与正向和反向偏振分解进行了比较。结果能够验证该方法，并突出其在某些备受关注的实验应用中的优势。
