Polarized Light and the Mueller Matrix ApproachAuthor(s): Jos Jorge Gil, Razvigor Ossikovski, Jose J. Gil\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9780367407469, 978-0367407469\nSynopsis\nAn Up-to-Date Compendium on the Physics and Mathematics of Polarization Phenomena \n\nNow thoroughly revised, Polarized Light and the Mueller Matrix Approach cohesively integrates basic concepts of polarization phenomena from the dual viewpoints of the states of polarization of electromagnetic waves and the transformations of these states by the action of material media. Through selected examples, it also illustrates actual and potential applications in materials science, biology, and optics technology. \n\nThe book begins with the basic concepts related to two- and three-dimensional polarization states. It next describes the nondepolarizing linear transformations of the states of polarization through the Jones and Mueller-Jones approaches..
