空间相干性在偏振层析成像中的作用

Role of spatial coherence in polarization tomography

A. Aiello, J. P. Woerdman

摘要:

我们分析了一个实验装置,其中准单色空间相干光束被用来探测傍轴光学散射体。讨论了探测光的空间相干性对散射体的Mueller矩阵的影响。根据光束的空间相干程度,\emph{same}散射系统可以用\emph{different} Mueller矩阵表示。这一结果应该作为对实验者的警告。

英文摘要:

We analyze an experimental setup in which a quasi-monochromatic spatially coherent beam of light is used to probe a paraxial optical scatterer. We discuss the effect of the spatial coherence of the probe beam on the Mueller matrix representing the scatterer. We show that according to the degree of spatial coherence of the beam, the \emph{same} scattering system can be represented by \emph{different} Mueller matrices. This result should serve as a warning for experimentalists.
