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.

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...
A beam of light is polarized all along the y-axis, and passes through a polarizer that has its polarization axis 45° from the y-axis. 1) What fraction of the original electric field amplitude E0 makes it through the polarizer? What direction is it now polarized in? 2) Knowing that the intensity of light is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the electric field, what fraction of the original intensity I0 makes it through the polarizer?
A beam of polarized light passes through a polarizing filter. When the angle between the polarizing axis of the filter and the direction of polarization of the light is 29 ∘, the intensity of the emerging beam is I A) If you instead want the intensity to be I/2, what should be the angle between the filter axis and the original direction of polarization of the light?
Constants PartA Only 21 % of the intensity of a polarized light wave passes through a polarizing filter. What is the angle between the electric field and the axis of the filte Express your answer using two significant figures.
To understand polarization of light and how to use Malus's law to calculate the intensity of a beam of light after passing through one or more polarizing filters. The two transverse waves shown in the figure(Figure 1) both travel in the +z direction. The waves differ in that the top wave oscillates horizontally and the bottom wave oscillates vertically. The direction of oscillation of a wave is called the polarization of the wave. The upper wave is described as polarized...
