Unraveling the physical information of depolarizers

Résumé

The link between depolarization measures and physical nature and structure of material media inducing depolarization is nowadays an open question. This article shows how the joint use of two complementary sets of depolarizing metrics, namely the Indices of polarimetric purity and the Components of purity, are sufficient to completely describe the integral depolarizing properties of a sample. Based on a collection of illustrative and representative polarimetric configurations, a clear and meaningful physical interpretation of such metrics is provided, thus extending the current tools and comprehension for the study and analysis of the depolarizing properties of material media. This study could be of interest to those users dealing with depolarization or depolarizing samples.
