Geometric interpretation of the 3-dimensional coherence matrix for nonparaxial polarization
The 3-dimensional coherence matrix is interpreted by emphasising its invariance with respect to spatial rotations. Under these transformations, it naturally decomposes into a real symmetric positive definite matrix, interpreted as the moment of inertia of the ensemble (and the corresponding ellipsoid), and a real axial vector, corresponding to the mean angular momentum of the ensemble. This vec...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Beam coherence–polarization matrix
We present an approach for describing the properties of a quasi-monochromatic, beam-like field that is both partially polarized and partially coherent from the spatial standpoint. It is based on the use of a single 2× 2 matrix, called the beam coherence–polarization matrix, whose elements have the form of mutual intensities. This approach, which can be viewed as an approximate form of Wolf’s ge...
متن کاملTwo Methods for Modeling the Propagation of the Coherence and Polarization Properties of Nonparaxial Fields
The propagation of nonparaxial, partially coherent fields may be modeled in many ways. The standard techniques of Huygens-type propagation integrals or plane wave decompositions require quadruple oscillatory integrals that carry a significant computational cost. Two alternative, computationally efficient methods for such modeling are presented here. One uses a discrete nonparaxial basis expansi...
متن کاملPolarization Images: A Geometric Interpretation for Shape Analysis
This paper presents a framework for the geometric interpretation of a single polarization image taken of specular reflecting objects. The task of recovering 3D shape information of specular objects from intensity images is a difficult if not impossible one, as no intensity based features are available. Polarization analysis provides additional features to overcome the problem. In particular the...
