| Popis: | International audience; In this letter, we address the question of physical validity of depolarizing differential matrix. A new parameterization of diagonal terms of these depolarizing differential matrices is proposed. It ensures that the generators associated to diagonal depolarization terms lead to physical Mueller matrices. The validity of this parameterization is discussed. A condition is derived and related to the spatial extension of inhomogeneities with respect to the optical path length as proposed by Ossikovski [Opt. Lett. 36, 2330 (2011)]. |
