An optical filter can be described by a Jones matrix

Obtain the form of the emerging light for each of the following incident beams:

(a) A plane polarized beam polarized at angle θ to the horizontal (see Problem 8.52).

(b) A left-circularly polarized beam.

(c) A right-circularly polarized beam.

(d) From the above, identify the filter and explain how it could be constructed.
