How inhomogeneous can an inhomogeneous Jones matrix be?

Abstract

We determine the interval of the inhomogeneity parameter of a Jones matrix to get physically realizable optical systems satisfying the passivity condition. It is found that the inhomogeneity parameter depends on the inner product of the eigenvectors of the Jones matrix, but its maximum value depends exclusively on its eigenvalues.
