2. Jones vectors for various polarization states
The polarization of light is the study of the orientation of the electric field in the wave plane. . Natural light comes from a multitude of small emitting centers, each of which generates an independent wave train, or a small, time-limited vibration. In this way, the electric field is randomly oriented in the wave plane over time, as the various emitters move.
When amplitude and phase shift cannot be expressed using well-defined mathematical relationships, the light is said to be depolarized.
When the amplitude and phase shift of the electric field can be expressed by well-defined mathematical relationships, the...
