| dc.description.abstract | The evolution of a polarized beam can be described by the differential formulation of Mueller calculus. The
nondepolarizing differential Mueller matrices are well known. However, they only account for 7 out of the
16 independent parameters that are necessary to model a general anisotropic depolarizing medium. In this
work we present the nine differential Mueller matrices for general depolarizing media, highlighting the physical
implications of each of them. Group theory is applied to establish the relationship between the differential matrix
and the set of transformation generators in the Minkowski space, of which Lorentz generators constitute a particular
subgroup. | es_ES |
