A general method, which allows us to derive 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, is applied to ellipsoidal, oblate spheroidal, prolate spheroidal and elliptic conical coordinate systems.
