Abstract

We present consistent theoretical studies of the optically heterodyned polarization interferometry (OHPI) of polarization inhomogeneous media (initially isotropic materials) with collinear arbitrary polarized (partially or totally depolarized) interacting beams (pump-probe scheme) within the framework of the 3rd-order nonlinear susceptibility. We have built our calculation of a signal behind the analyzer within the framework of Mueller matrix and Stokes vector formalism. Such an approach allows to take into account the possible depolarization of the interacting waves in the optical canals of the measuring scheme. We shall follow the notations and the principles of the theoretical treatment presented in paper [1].
