Laser Polarimetry of Polarization-Phase Statistical Moments of the Object Field of Optically Anisotropic Scattering Layers

摘要

Issues related to the direct polarization-interference measurements of the second and higher statistical moments of the random object field of a phase-inhomogeneous layer are considered. The relation between the statistical parameters of the surface and volume structure of the object and the statistics of the vector laser field is determined. The results of analytical modeling are compared with direct experimental measurements.
