Abstract

In this work we performed, in the frame of the Stokes - Mueller matrix formalism, an analysis of two Mueller matrix imaging polarimeters that function in transmission. We theoretically calculated the Mueller matrices of both the polarization state generator and the polarization state analyzer of the Mueller matrix imaging polarimeters. It also presents the calculation, in a particular case, of the Mueller matrix of the system and of the Stokes vector of the emergent polarized light from polarization state analyzer for one of Mueller matrix imaging polarimeters..

Keywords

Light polarization, Stokes-Mueller matrix formalism, Mueller matrix imaging polarimeter.
