%0 Journal Article %A Piquero Sanz, Gemma María %A Movilla Serrano, Jesús María %A Mejías Arias, Pedro Miguel %A Martínez Herrero, María Rosario %T Degree of polarization of non-uniformly partially polarized beams: a proposal %D 1999 %@ 0306-8919 %U https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/58836 %X Two overall parameters are proposed to characterize the degree of polarization and its uniformity across the transversal section of non-uniformly partially polarized beams. Such parameters can be measured according to the well-known standard methods used to obtain the Stokes parameters, with the addition of a CCD camera to determine the beam intensity at each point of the observation plane. %~
