Abstract
In order to solve the radiative-transfer equation for polarized beams propagating in plasmas a matrix approach is applied. The solution is the four-components Stokes vector, and the effect of the medium on the state of the radiation is represented by an amplification operator. Our approach is applied to the neon-like germanium 23.6 nm line, when a right-circularly polarized beam is injected into an amplifying plasma. The conditions governing the recovery of the initial polarization state are investigated over the entire spectrum of the output.
