Title: | Partial polarization in three dimensions | Authors: | Sheppard, C.J.R. | Issue Date: | 1-Dec-2011 | Citation: | Sheppard, C.J.R. (2011-12-01). Partial polarization in three dimensions. Journal of the Optical Society of America A: Optics and Image Science, and Vision 28 (12) : 2655-2659. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Various different parameters have been introduced to describe the degree of polarization of a partially polarized electromagnetic field in three dimensions. Of these, parameters based on the eigenvalues of the coherency matrix are invariant under a unitary transformation. Here, explicit expressions are presented for the eigenvalues, thus providing a geometrical interpretation of the behavior. These expressions are applied to the Huynen decomposition and allow interrelations between different parameters to be developed. © 2011 Optical Society of America. | Source Title: | Journal of the Optical Society of America A: Optics and Image Science, and Vision | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/88022 | ISSN: | 10847529 |
