Optimization and performance criteria of a Stokes Polarimeter based on two variable retarders
In this paper we present the analysis, optimization and implementation of several Stokes Polarimeter configurations based on a setup including two variable retarders. The Polarimeter analysis is based on the Mueller-Stokes formalism, and as a consequence, it is suitable to deal with depolarized ligh...
