Polarization Singular Structure of Laser Images of Stratified Phase Inhomogeneous Layers for the Diagnostics and Classification of their Optical Properties

摘要

Presented in this work are the results of investigation aimed at analysis of coordinate distri butions for azimuths and ellipticity of polarization (polarization maps) in laser images of three typesof phase inhomogeneous layers, namely: rough, ground and bulk scattering layers. To characterizepolarization maps for all the types of phase inhomogeneous layers, the authors have offered to usethree groups of parameters: statistical moments of the first to the fourth orders, autocorrelation func tions and logarithmic dependences for power spectra related to distributions of azimuths and ellipticityof polarization inherent to phase inhomogeneous layers laser images. Ascertained are the criteria fordiagnostics and classification of phase inhomogeneous layers optical properties.
