A monochromatic laser beam of intensity Io = 659 W/m2 is polarized in the y-direction and propagates in the positive z-direction. This beam is incident upon a quarter-wave plate whose fast axis makes an angle of 45 degrees with the x-axis as shown. Following the quarter-wave plate are two polarizers; the transmission axis of the first polarizer is aligned with the x-axis, while the transmission axis of the second polarizer makes an angle of θ1 = 72 degrees with the...
#6. (10 points) Using Jones vectors and matrices: Suppose right-circularly polarized light is incident on a quarter wave plate with fast axis at an angle to the x-axis. Show that the output is linearly polarized and find the polarization angle.
2) Which of the following is necessary to make circular polarized light: a polarizer, a second polarizer, a quarter-wave plate, a half-wave plate? If more tharn r must they be placed ar
3) Consider a circularly polarized light reflecting from a boundary between two dielectric materials characterized by & and E2. (a) Assume the incident light is normal to the interface (0-0) will the reflected wave be circularly polarized? (b) Assume r < E2 and >0 will the reflected wave be circularly polarized? (c) Assume eE2 and 0> 0c so there is total internal reflection. Will the reflected light be circularly polarized? 3) Consider a circularly polarized light reflecting from a boundary...
Describe the State Of Polarization of the Left handed circularly polarized light which is passing through an 1/8 wave plate, using the jones matrix.
can you sketch the answer too 4. Case: Incident light is circularly polarized The calcite material is a half wave plate HWP polarized light Incident light: Clockwise rotation when seen from the side in which light propagates and into the source Sketch your answer here also Notice the different labels of the axis compared to the previous questions. i) Provide an expression for the fields Elx.t) and Eyx.) in the region x<0 Provide an expression for the fields E(x,t) and...
11. Explain how the superposition of two polarized ways results in right circularly polarized light.
Problem 3. (15 points in total) Quarter-wave retarder. The quarter-wave plate transforms light initially linearly polarized at an angle 45 (oscillating in the first and third quadrants) into right- circular light (rotating clockwise looking toward the source) when the fast axis of the waveplate is located vertically as shown in Figure 1 Prove that A(L)A(Qy)A(+45) where A is Jones matrix for L, Qy +45 which means left circular polarization, quarter-waveplate (fast axis on y-axis), +45 linear polarization. Fast axis wave...
