Passivity test of Mueller matrices in the presence of additive Gaussian noise

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

It is possible to introduce tolerancing with the realizability test of Givens and Kostinski [J. Mod. Opt. 40, 471 (1993)] with a minor modification: it suffices to add a special matrix to [G][M]T[G][M]. Consequently, it is possible to check experimental Mueller matrices with a more flexible tool. Application to the emblematic case of the Mueller images of the free space shows that more than 99% of the pixels are in fact physical, while only 2% initially passed the test.
