Problem 2. (15 points in total) Polarization rotator. The Jones vector for an arbitrary linearly polarized state at an angle θ with respect to the horizontal is cos a sin e Starting from the abov...
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. (b 1pt) Show that for an initial...

Screen Shot 2018-12-03 at 11.14.25 AM Search (a) Suppose that linearly polarized light is oriented at an angle α with respect to the horizontal or x-axis (see table 6.1). What fraction of the original intensity gets through a vertically oriented polarizer? (b)...
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...
