RT Journal Article T1 Degree of polarization of non-uniformly partially polarized beams: a proposal A1 Piquero Sanz, Gemma María A1 Movilla Serrano, Jesús María A1 Mejías Arias, Pedro Miguel A1 Martínez Herrero, María Rosario AB 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.
