3×3 Mueller polarimetry has shown potential for tissue characterization applications, however, calibration has not been fully addressed. We demonstrate a 3×3 Mueller polarimeter eigenvalue calibration method, inspired by those for full Mueller polarimeters. We also investigate the optimal combination of calibration measurements. Our method does not rely on modeling the polarization state generator, polarization state analyzer, or precise knowledge of calibration sample properties or orientations. It is therefore easy to implement, and the experimental results of a linear polarizer test sample, as well as a biological specimen, are presented.
3×3穆勒偏振测量法已显示出在组织表征应用中的潜力，然而，校准问题尚未得到充分解决。我们展示了一种受全穆勒偏振仪校准方法启发的3×3穆勒偏振仪本征值校准方法。我们还研究了校准测量的最佳组合。我们的方法不依赖于对偏振态发生器、偏振态分析仪的建模，也不依赖于对校准样品特性或取向的精确了解。因此，该方法易于实现，并给出了线性偏振器测试样品以及生物样本的实验结果。
