The polar decomposition method for Mueller matrices proposed by Lu-Chipman has been demonstrated and validated for many applications. However, in some situations, e.g., when analyzing the Mueller matrix of birefringent turbid media with Mie-sized scatterers acquired in reflection geometry, the method may suffer from limitations due to the assumptions required by this method. Here we extend the Lu-Chipman method and show that it can provide more reasonable results for these situations. The method has been validated experimentally with turbid phantoms. Thus, this Letter may prove useful in tissue polarimetry.
由卢-奇普曼提出的穆勒矩阵的极分解方法已在许多应用中得到证明和验证。然而，在某些情况下，例如在分析通过反射几何结构获取的具有米氏尺寸散射体的双折射混浊介质的穆勒矩阵时，由于该方法所需的假设，该方法可能会受到限制。在此，我们扩展了卢-奇普曼方法，并表明它可以为这些情况提供更合理的结果。该方法已通过混浊体模进行了实验验证。因此，这封信可能在组织偏振测量中证明是有用的。
