Abstract
The solutions of spectral problem (i.e. finding eigenpolarizations and eigenvalues) can be used for the classification of polarization objects. The paper presents the classification based on spectral problem solutions, which determine the conditions when the polarization object either isotropically absorbs the intensity of incident electromagnetic radiation or isotropically shift the phase. This approach enables us to highly enrich the existing classifications and avoid their deficiencies.
