Abstract
The theory of the formation of polarization ghost images in biphoton light of spontaneous parametric scattering is developed. On the basis of the developed theory, the quantum ghost polarimetry concept has been suggested, which makes it possible to obtain two-dimensional maps of the polarization properties of objects by measuring a set of correlation functions obtained in various polarization states of photons. For objects with linear dichroism, a complete set of measurement states is found, which allows for obtaining the maps of the distributions of absorption, value, and azimuth of anisotropy.
