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.
One can always consider the effect of a wave plate as a rotation on the Poincare sphere. A quarter wave plate would rotate a circular state of polarization one quarter of a revolution of the sphere, from the pole to the equator. Therefore it would turn circular polarization into a linear polarization. A 1/8 wave plate would rotate it only half as much, ending halfway between the pole and the equator. So the result would be elliptical polarization.

3 4. This problem deals with Jones calculus. An optical rotator is a polarization element that rotates the linear polarization state of an incident field by an angle φ. The Jones matrix for an optical rotator can be given like so cosφ sin φ -sin φ cos φ (a 1pt) Using the Jones calculus show that the linear polarization of a field initially polarized along the x-axis is rotated by the optical rotator.

A left-handed circularly polarized plane wave propagating in air has an electric field magnitude of 28 V/m. This wave is normally incident on a lossless medium characterized by a relative permittivity of 8,8 and a relative permeability of 1,3, which occupies the region defined by z 0. Determine the percentage of the energy that is transmitted into the second medium. (Enter at least three digits after the decimal separator in your answer)
Using a quarter-wave plate and a polarizer, how would you distinguish randomly polarized light from circularly polarized light?
3. Left circularly polarized light rotates counterclockwise viewed head on. It's complex notation is (a) By taking the real part of this expression, trace out the path of the E-vector in time. (b) This light hits a mirror placed at -0. In order to zero the component of the electric field, the outgoing wave is Notice the negative sign in front of kz, indicating the direction has reversed. In looking at this light head-on, does the light rotate clockwise or...
Most popular application of wave plates is that they can act as polarization rotators when the phase retardation is a (Half-Wave Plate, HWP). Show from Jones matrices that linearly polarized light after passing through a HWP is still linearly polarized but with a different direction of polarization. What is the angle of rotation for linearly polarized light with an inclination angle of 0 (e.g., relative to the fast axis FA)?
