Polarized radiative transfer equation in some nontrivial coordinate systems
Abstract
Explicit expressions for the differential operator of stationary quasi-monochromatic polarized radiative transfer equation in Euclidean space with piecewise homogeneous real part of the effective refractive index are obtained in circular cylindrical, prolate spheroidal, elliptic conical, classic toroidal and simple toroidal coordinate system.
