Pronunciation varies by accent · noun
(physics) attenuation of light that depends upon its polarization.
Singular Mueller matrices play an important role in polarization algebra and have peculiar properties that stem from the fact that either the medium exhibits maximum diattenuation and/or polarizance, or because its associated canonical depolarizer has the property of fully randomizing, the circular component (at least) of the states of polarization of light incident on it.
Use diattenuation when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
