    "abstract": "We experimentally investigate the depolarizing power and the polarization\nentropy of a broad class of scattering optical media. By means of polarization\ntomography, these quantities are derived from an effective Mueller matrix,\nwhich is introduced through a formal description of the multi-mode detection\nscheme we use, as recently proposed by Aiello and Woerdman\n(arXiv:quant-ph/0407234). This proposal emphasized an intriguing universality\nin the polarization aspects of classical as well as quantum light scattering;\nin this contribution we demonstrate experimentally that this universality is\nobeyed by a surprisingly wide class of depolarizing media. This, in turn,\nprovides the experimentalist with a useful characterization of the polarization\nproperties of any scattering media, as well as a universal criterion for the\nvalidity of the measured data.",
