Polarized light-pulse transport through scattering media

Abstract

The propagation of a polarized pulse in random media is investigated using the discrete-ordinates method to solve the transient vector radiative transfer. The angular analysis of the transient polarized features of scattering fluxes makes it possible to investigate subtle details of the polarization flip encountered for circularly polarized waves. We found that, depending on the geometry, the state of polarization, and the angle of detection, the degree of polarization decays at either a slower or faster rate when the beam is impinging at an angle far from the normal incidence. At normal incidence, our results confirm that, for large particles, the circular polarization maintains a greater degree of polarization.
