Polarimetry is today a widely used and powerful tool for nondestructive analysis of the structural and morphological properties of a great variety of material samples, including aerosols and hydrosols, among many others. For each given scattering measurement configuration, absolute Mueller polarimeters provide the most complete polarimetric information, intricately encoded in the 16 parameters of the corresponding Mueller matrix. Thus, the determination of the mathematical structure of the polarimetric information contained in a Mueller matrix constitutes a topic of great interest. In this work, besides a structural decomposition that makes explicit the role played by the diattenuation-polarizance of a general depolarizing medium, a universal synthesizer of Muller matrices is developed. This is based on the concept of an enpolarizing ellipsoid, whose symmetry features are directly linked to the way in which the polarimetric information is organized.

In underwater optical wireless communications (UOWC), scattering of the propagating light beam results in both intensity and phase variations, which limit the transmission link range and channel bandwidth, respectively. Scattering of photons while propagating through the channel is a random process, which results in the channel-dependent scattering noise. In this work, we introduce for the first time an analytical model for this noise and investigate its effect on the bit error rate performance of the UOWC system for three types of waters and a range of transmission link spans. We show that, for a short range of un-clear water or a longer range of clear water, the number of photons experiencing scattering is high, thus leading to the increased scattering noise. The results demonstrate that the FEC limit of 3×10−3 and considering the scattering noise, the maximum link spans are 51.5, 20, and 4.6 m for the clear, coastal, and harbor waters, respectively.

Optical chirality, in terms of circular birefringence and circular dichroism, is described by its electromagnetic and magnetoelectric material tensors, and the corresponding optical activity contributes to the Mueller matrix. Here, spectroscopic ellipsometry in the spectral range 210–1690 nm is used to address chiral phenomena by measuring Mueller matrices in transmission. Three approaches to determine chirality parameters are discussed. In the first approach, applicable in the absence of linear polarization effects, circular birefringence and circular dichroism are evaluated directly from elements of a Mueller matrix. In the second method, differential decomposition is employed, which allows for the unique separation of chirality parameters from linear anisotropic parameters as well as from depolarization provided that the sample is homogeneous along the optical path. Finally, electromagnetic modeling using the Tellegen constitutive relations is presented. The last method also allows structural effects to be included. The three methods to quantify optical chirality are demonstrated for selected materials, including sugar solutions, α-quartz, liquid crystals, beetle cuticle, and films of cellulose nanocrystals.
