We propose a new decomposition for depolarizing Mueller matrices. This decomposition, which consists of a product of four basic optical devices (two diattenuators, a retarder, and a depolarizer) is derived from a previous one known as "symmetric decomposition" [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A26, 1109 (2009)10.1364/JOSAA.26.001109JOAOD61084-7529] and makes it easier to interpret polarization properties of Mueller matrices and improves estimation of the extracted parameters. Its application is illustrated by several theoretical and experimental examples.
我们提出了一种用于退偏穆勒矩阵的新分解方法。这种分解由四个基本光学器件（两个衰减器、一个延迟器和一个退偏器）的乘积组成，它源自先前一种被称为“对称分解”的方法[《美国光学学会志》A26, 1109 (2009)10.1364/JOSAA.26.001109JOAOD61084 - 7529]，使得更容易解释穆勒矩阵的偏振特性，并改进了对提取参数的估计。通过几个理论和实验示例说明了其应用。
