Return Mueller matrices for a (partial) absorber.
- - p is the relative absorbance, ranging from 0 to 1,
if not given or set to [] the default value 0 is used.
Argument p can be passed as a scalar or as a matrix or as a
cell array. In the two latter cases, a cell array M of
Mueller matrices of the same size is returned.
