The 3D transfer equation for polarized radiation is solved for several different model configurations. In the formulation with Stokes vectors a short characteristic approach is used for the formal solution. In the case of Rayleigh scattering the phase matrix is decomposed into a sum of matrix products to allow the use of operator splitting iteration schemes. For 30 slabs with constant extinction matrix and constant emission the emerging polarized radiation is calculated. The resulting intensities and fluxes are presented for the grid of used parameters. The author finds that the optical depth and the scattering parameter can be fixed from observations even if only the fluxes are known.
