我们提出一种算法，它将一个穆勒矩阵分解为三个矩阵因子的序列：一个二向色性衰减器，接着是一个相位延迟器，然后是一个消偏器。除了奇异的穆勒矩阵外，这些因子是唯一的。基于这种分解，可以定义和计算一个穆勒矩阵的二向色性和相位延迟。因此，该算法对于对实验确定的穆勒矩阵进行数据简化是有用的。（C）1996美国光学学会
We present an algorithm that decomposes a Mueller matrix into a sequence of three matrix factors: a diattenuator, followed by a retarder, then followed by a depolarizer. Those factors are unique except for singular Mueller matrices. Based on this decomposition, the diattenuation and the retardance of a Mueller matrix can be defined and computed. Thus this algorithm is useful for performing data reduction upon experimentally determined Mueller matrices. (C) 1996 Optical Society of America
