3. Jones matrix algebra

3.1 Techniques for writing Jones matrices

Polarizing optical devices transform the total polarization state of light and, consequently, the coordinates of the Jones vector. Mathematically, this transformation is obtained by multiplying the Jones vector by a matrix, known as the Jones matrix.

3.1.1 Writing a Jones matrix for a single polarizing element

In the Jones matrix algebra, each polarizing element corresponds to a Jones matrix. This matrix [M J ...
