Summary
How does a thick substrate alter the polarimetric response of a diffraction grating?
Combines scattering operators, generalized Mueller calculus and infinite incoherent partial-wave sums.
Compares the treatment with other models and experimental spectroscopy.

Relation labels come from the method guide and are editorial. Unlabelled links are conceptual connections or comparison methods; the paper does not necessarily implement them.
Commentary
The statistical assumptions remain part of the model. Degenerate orders can retain mutual coherence.
A co-authored continuation of the thesis; the browser experiment implements a restricted scalar case, not the complete anisotropic formalism.
