The extraction of the elementary polarization properties of a uniform medium from a deterministic Mueller matrix has been considered by several researchers. The relationship between a parameterization of the deterministic Mueller matrix that we described recently and the elementary polarization properties for a uniform medium is investigated. The elementary polarization properties can be calculated exactly from the Mueller matrix parameters. Simplified forms for the Mueller matrix parameters in terms of the elementary polarization properties are presented. The effect on the Mueller matrix of varying the ratio of the total diattenuation to the total retardance is investigated. Approximate forms for the elementary polarization properties in terms of the Mueller matrix parameters, valid for weak optical media, are given.
几位研究人员已经考虑了从确定性穆勒矩阵中提取均匀介质的基本偏振特性。我们最近描述的确定性穆勒矩阵的参数化与均匀介质的基本偏振特性之间的关系得到了研究。基本偏振特性可以从穆勒矩阵参数精确计算出来。给出了根据基本偏振特性表示的穆勒矩阵参数的简化形式。研究了改变总二向色性与总延迟之比对穆勒矩阵的影响。给出了根据穆勒矩阵参数表示的、对弱光学介质有效的基本偏振特性的近似形式。
