The elements of the coherency matrix give the strength of the components of a Mueller matrix in the coherency basis. The Z-matrix (called the polarization-coupling matrix or state-generating matrix) represents a partial sum of the coherency expansion. For transmission through a deterministic medium, the coherency elements can be used directly...

Circular dichroism imaging has proved a powerful and simple method for extracting information on chiral molecules without specific fluorescent labels. Numerous mathematical models show that outside the absorption band, the circular dichroism signal comes from the scattering interaction and brings additional information about the organization of...
