Summary: Understanding and revealing the mechanism or sources of medium depolarization behaviors is crucial. The paper presents an interpretation method using physical generators, different rotation matrices, and their evolutions to express depolarizing differential matrix. The expression is obtained by summing up nine physical generators. Relations between generators are derived using different rotation matrices, providing new expressions with different combinations of generators. It is found that different expressions can be seen as equivalent results obtained under different generators, explaining the mechanism of depolarization effects in media. Transformations among these expressions demonstrate the uniqueness of the interpretation method and the diversity of representations, corresponding to the mechanism of depolarization behaviors and the various possibilities of causes.

Summary: This new method allows for directly obtaining polarization properties from measured macroscopic Mueller matrices without the need for decomposition. By analyzing the canonical decomposition form of macroscopic Mueller matrices, the method accurately derives the parameters representing polarization and depolarization properties of a medium. The theoretical validation demonstrates the high accuracy of this method in extracting polarization properties from measured Mueller matrices.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the polarization of light in a thin film of ferrofluid under a magnetic field using the Mueller matrix formalism. By observing experimental results, we found that the changes in dichroism can be monitored along the sample, allowing for the visualization of magneto-optical effects for linear polarized light.

Summary: Many books on polarization provide tables of Mueller matrices. The coherency matrix is useful for interpreting Mueller matrices. We present a table of Mueller matrices M, coherency matrices C, and coherency matrix factors F for different polarization components and systems, along with simplified forms for certain cases.

Summary: This study performs error analysis of a metasurface polarimeter based on a rotating metasurface. The errors in the measured Stokes parameters are formulated for the errors in the Mueller elements of the metasurface, aiming to evaluate and minimize the errors of the metasurface polarimeter.

Summary: The arbitrary decomposition of a Mueller matrix into nondepolarizing constituents allows for a parallel decomposition of polarimetric interactions. However, the interpretation of the components is limited due to certain restrictions. This study introduces a new approach that involves adding a perfect depolarizer before the decomposition, resulting in three components that inherit the polarizance vector, diattenuation vector, and complementary polarimetric information.

Summary: We have developed a polarimetric imaging system that can obtain complete Mueller matrix images in a short time. By incorporating a specially designed diffractive grating into the system, we can image on different focal planes simultaneously, demonstrating nine multi-focus images of a starch granule and measuring the correlation between its polarization characteristics and inner structure.

Summary: This work presents a simplified cylinder-birefringence optical model of the human skin dermis and measures the polarization parameters of human fingernail skin. The accuracy and stability of the Mueller matrix polarization decomposition (MMPD) and the direct Mueller matrix (DMM) methods are compared under different incident and scattering angles. A significant contribution of this study is the use of a polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography device to obtain the value of birefringence of the skin dermis from living human index finger nail images. The results provide a basis for selecting incident and scattering angles when measuring biological samples with fibrous structures in the future.

Summary: The analysis of Mueller matrix transmission facilitates the study of optical activity in samples with linear anisotropy and depolarization, important for the development of applications in chiroptics. Optical chirality, described by electromagnetic and magnetoelectric material tensors, contributes to the Mueller matrix. Spectroscopic ellipsometry is used to measure chiral phenomena, with three methods discussed for determining chirality parameters.

Summary: Spectroscopic techniques can provide information about the chiral structure of molecules, but small errors in optical polarization control can lead to experimental artifacts. This study focuses on Raman optical activity (ROA) as an example and comprehensively investigates chiroptical artifacts. Based on the findings, standard controls are proposed to help researchers better understand, identify, and avoid experimental artifacts.

Summary: This paper introduces the technical breakthrough of pixelated polarization cameras in the traditional photoelastisity method. It analyzes and evaluates several systematic error factors, such as the non-ideal polarization state of background light and the low extinction ratio of the pixelated polarization camera. The corresponding algorithms for error removal are proposed.

Summary: The Department of Physics at the United States Air Force Academy developed a linear Stokes polarimeter for their 16-inch telescope to study the impact of optical elements on incident light polarization and measure the Stokes parameters of reflected light from satellites. The pseudoinverse process introduced minimal error and the calibration matrix was successfully applied to observations of different satellites, providing accurate measurements of their Stokes parameters.

Summary: Measurement of polarization degree of backscattering light from rough surfaces is crucial for targets-detection applications. By decomposing a realistic, complicated target as typical geometric surfaces and using a microfacet model, the polarized bidirectional reflectance distribution function (pBRDF) can be obtained to distinguish between targets at different spatial orientations.
