Function File: M = mueller_unity()
Function File: A = mueller_unity([m, n, ...])
Function File: A = mueller_unity(C)

Return unity Mueller matrices, representing a non-polarizing optical element.

  • - [m, n, ...] defines the size of the cell array A and therefore the number of unity matrices returned.
  • - C is a cell array defining the size of the returned cell array A, size(A)==size(C). The content of C is of not evaluated in this case.
