Abstract

The fields of radar and optical polarimetry are compared. Both fields have defined scattering matrices that describe the coherent scattering of monochromatic electric fields. This paper compares the mathematics of the the two disczplines by redeveloping Kennaugh's optimum polarization theory in the context of optical polarimetry. In addition, a novel definition of "eigenpolarization" is given.
