Mueller matrix form for the case of molecular light scattering by atmospheric gases

The Mueller matrix is derived for molecular light scattering. The derivation is based on the knowledge of the independence of density and anisotropy fluctuations in gases under low pressures and averaging over equally probable orientations of molecules. A comparison with some published matrices is p...

Summary:The Mueller matrix is derived for molecular light scattering. The derivation is based on the knowledge of the independence of density and anisotropy fluctuations in gases under low pressures and averaging over equally probable orientations of molecules. A comparison with some published matrices is presented.
