Abstract
Spatial light modulator is an essential electro-optical device in applications that require to modulate the amplitude, phase, or polarization of light. Its proper use requires to determine its Mueller matrix. In this work, we compare different methods to calculate the condition number of Mueller-Stokes polarimetry techniques, which defines their maximum relative error. Combining experimental and calculated values, we determined the most suitable method for calculating the condition number.
