Effects of Finite Surface on Polarization State of Thermal Emission

Abstract: A comprehensive model for explaining the polarization properties of thermal emission is presented for the case of objects with certain sizes. Using Stokes theory and the superposition principle of a light wave, we analyze the dependence of degree of linear polarization on the spatial geometrical relations including the sizes of objects, the detection distance, and the locations of objects for both metallic and nonmetallic objects, each taken separately.

“…[18] Many computational and experimental efforts are going on in parallel for achieving reliable opacities data. [1,7,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] It includes a large list, but here we are giving a short introduction to some of the sources, which we have used for comparison of our results. The opacity project (OP) [33] and opacity project at Livermore (OPAL) [34] have been the early sources of opacity data for astrophysicists since the nineties, and are still used extensively for modeling various problems in stellar physics.…”
