Abstract
A detailed Mueller-Stokes analysis of an arbitrary elliptical dichroic polarizer is presented. Explicit expressions for the Jones matrix, the Stokes parameters, and the Mueller matrix for a distributed and localized dichroic polarizer acting as a polarization-dependent loss (PDL) element are derived. Application to wavelength-dependent PDL elements is discussed. The Poincare sphere representation and the application of the Mueller matrices for the study of randomly oriented concatenated PDL elements and PDL vector measurement are addressed.
