Abstract
We propose a novel, computationally efficient integral decomposition of depolarizing Mueller matrices allowing for the obtainment of a nondepolarizing estimate, as well as for the determination of the elementary polarization properties, in terms of mean values and variances-covariances of their fluctuations, of a weakly anisotropic depolarizing medium. We illustrate the decomposition on experimental examples and compare its performance to those of alternative decompositions.
