摘要：We derive an analytical parameterization of the amplitude and Mueller scattering matrices of a system composed of a small number of electric dipoles.The appeal of this derivation is that it provides a wide range of light-scattering polarization states with a minimal number of parameters.Such a tool can be used to interpret observations in terms of physical parameters.We aim to utilize these results in multiple-scattering studies, such as the interpretation of polarimetric and photometric phase effects of asteroids and other atmosphereless solar-system objects.
