Thermodynamic Reversibility in Polarimetry
The action of linear media on incident polarized electromagnetic waves can produce two kinds of thermodynamic irreversible effects, namely, loss of intensity, in general anisotropic, and reduction of the degree of polarization. Even though both phenomena can be described through specific properties,...
