Mueller calculus is a matrix method for manipulating Stokes vectors, which represent the polarization of light. It was developed in 1943 by Hans Mueller. In this technique, the effect of a particular optical element is represented by a Mueller matrix—a 4×4 matrix that is an overlapping generalization of the Jones matrix. ==Introduction== Disregarding coherent wave superposition, any fully polarized, partially polarized, or unpolarized state of light can be represented by a Stokes vector ; and any optical element can be represented by a Mueller matrix (M). If a beam of light is initially in the state and then passes through an optical element M and comes out in a state , then it is written : If a beam of light passes through optical element M1 followed by M2 then M3 it is written : given that matrix multiplication is associative it can be written : Matrix multiplication is not commutative, so in general : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mueller calculus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
