Optical Transfer Operator of the Polarized Radiation Transportation System

The mathematical models of the vector optical transfer operators (VOTO) are suggested to compute Stoke's parameters vector as the solution of the general boundary-value problem in the polarized radiation transfer theory for a plane layer. The VOTO kernels are the tenzor of influence functions (IF's) or the tenzor of the spatial-frequency characteristics (SFC's). The basic models of the vector IF's and SFC's are separated. T-matrix method is developed and generalized to the multiple scattering theory.
