Summary

Subramanian's reciprocity relation for linearly polarized beams, has been generalized in terms of Stokes' vectors of the scattered beams for an optical system and its reciprocal system. An experimental proof is given which establishes the validity of the proposed relation, along with Mueller's reciprocity theorem as a well. The generalized relation is applicable to beams of all possible polarization forms.

Zusammenfassung

Subramanian's Reziprozitäts-Bedingung für linear polarisiertes Licht wurde mit Hilfe des Stokesschen Vektors für Strahlung bei optischen Systemen und ihren reziproken Systemen verallgemeinert. Eine experimentelle Prüfung zeigt die Gültigkeit der vorgeschlagenen Beziehung, zugleich ebenso mit dem Muellerschen Reziprozitäts-Theorem. Die generalisierte Beziehung ist anwendbar für Lichtstrahlung aller möglichen Polarisation.
