ANALYSIS OF POLARIZED LIGHT

light is circularly polarized.
QWP Otherwise, original light is
un-polarized.
3. Elliptically polarized light:
QWP
Given light
g 2 Max 2 Min Now set QWP with
(note the position its optic axis parallel
of maxima) to the maxima
Thus optic axis of QWP is now parallel to either major axis of EPL
or electric field vector of PPL
EPL PPL 2 Max 2 Min
(zero intensity)
2 Max 2 non-zero
PPL+UPL PPL+UPL
Min with original
position of maxima
