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 righ...
#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.
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...
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 above Jones vector, please prove that an optical filter described by a Jones matrix cos asin a -sin α cos α makes linearly polarized light rotate about an angle α.
