Cover Story: The Mueller matrix can provide more information with which to characterize samples. The Mueller polarimeter's accuracy is usually affected by Gaussian–Poisson mixed noise, and by optimizing the instrument matrices of the polarization state generator and the polarization state analyzer in the measurement system the estimation variance caused by Gaussian noise can be suppressed, and the estimation variance caused by Poisson noise can be made independent of the sample. In this paper, we investigate how to make the measurement system optimal for different measurement systems by combining geometric optimization on the Poincaré sphere and finally propose a series of measurement configurations for different applications.
