Systems using optical elements such as linear polarizers, retarders, and mirrors can be represented by Mueller matrices. Some polarimeters include elements with time-varying polarization properties, multiple light beams, light detectors, and signal processing equipment. Standard Mueller matrix forms describing time-varying retarders, and beam splitters are presented, as well as non-Mueller matrices which describe detection and signal processing. These matrices provide a compact and intuitive mathematical description of polarimeter response which can aid in the refining of instrument designs.
