摘要:
The specification of the state of polarization of beams of radiation by Stokes parameters is discussed. Mueller's method of regarding the Stokes parameters as column matrices and optical devices as represented by 4×4 matrices is described and examples of the procedure are given. The relation of the Stokes parameters to the Poincaré sphere representation is shown.
