摘要: Modeling optical field propagation in highly scattering and birefringent
medium is of important interest to many photonic research branches. Despite the
existence of numerical electromagnetic simulation tools and beam propagation
method frameworks, there has been a lack of an analytical model including the
full tensor nature of birefringence, which is an essential forward-propagation
tool for applications requiring efficiently iterative regularization and
end-to-end designs. Here, we present an analytical tool for modeling field
propagation in a birefringent scattering medium by including a full set of
field tensor elements and multiple scattering characteristics.
Birefringence-controlled field propagation experiments were successfully
carried out to validate the proposed model.
