Determine the conditions on the elements A, B, and C of the general Jones vector (Eq. 14-9), representing polarized light, that lead to the following special cases: (a) linearly polarized light; (b) elliptically polarized light with major axis aligned along a coordinate axis; (c) circularly polarized light. In each case, from the meanings of A, B, C, deduce the possible values of phase difference between component vibrations.
