Abstract

Usage of a polarymetric method for definition of the orientation order gives in measurement errors owing to influence of a surface roughness. The method of definition of parameters of an anisotropy grounded on transformation of Mueller matrix in a matrix of a coherence and its subsequent transformation to the determined matrixes allows considerably to simplify interpretation of a polarymetric measuring. The measuring have shown, that the entropy of the matrix of a coherence for the majority of polymeric films and lenses does not exceed 0,4, that allows to spot parameters of an anisotropy
