Abstract

In the research on scattering polarimetry, a scattering mechanism is described by an internal degree of freedom called rotation invariant parameter α. Traditionally, α is calculated by the diagonal scattering matrix of the single scatterer. However, when the research object is a scatterer with complicated surface and microstructure, the traditional calculation of parameter α is biased, since the corresponding scattering matrix is a nondiagonal matrix. To address this problem, this paper proposes a scientific model based on Cameron decomposition to raise the accuracy of parameter α in the complicated scatterer. The rotation invariant parameter with higher accuracy is renamed as a nondiagonal rotation invariant angle. In the verified experiments, the experimental values of each nondiagonal rotation invariant angle are compared with the referenced values calculated by optical constant and incident angle. The results demonstrate that fewer residuals are achieved than by the traditional method. Based on the presented calculating model, the scattering mechanism difference interval between two different materials is proposed as a judging area to distinguish the differences between scattering mechanisms in application.
