Abstract

The polarization state of the infrared beam reflected from a metallic cube-corner retroreflector (CCR) is analyzed using the Mueller matrix formalism, as suggested by Segre and Zanza [1]. In the given paper polarization changes of an electromagnetic beam reflected from CCR are studied in a wide range of parameters: complex reflection coefficients of metallic surface, beam wavelength, initial polarization state and incidence angle. For definite parameters combination the polarization changes on CCR could be minimized, which is very important for plasma polarimetry in thermonuclear devices.
