Polarization in spectral lines Július Koza Astronomical Institute, Slovak Academy of Sciences Tatranská Lomnica, Slovakia

Reference book monograph on theory of polarization in spectral lines Egidio Landi degl’Innocenti, Marco Landolfi: Polarization in spectral lines, Volume I and II (Springer, 2004)

Natural or unpolarized light an excited atom radiates a photon for roughly 10-8 s a photon = a wave train a beam of natural (unpolarized) light = a large number of wave trains with randomly-oriented oscillation planes of their electric vectors

What we mean by “polarization” Polarization = an existence of a spatial alignment of wave oscillation planes in a light beam or in other words = an existence of a preferred direction of oscillation of electric vectors of light waves in a beam

Methods of achieving polarization Polarization is a result of an asymmetry in an optical process or in other words an anisotropy in properties of a medium Basic processes generating polarization: reflection scattering birefringence dichroism (or selective absorption)

Polarization ellipse

Polarization ellipse Eliminating t dependence in above equations one can obtain: Equation of Ellipse

Polarization ellipse In most general case the tip of electric vector describes an ellipse. The ellipse can be represented as a superposition of two perpendicular plane waves Ex and Ey with a non-zero phase difference .

Visualization of the polarization ellipse http://emanim.szialab.org/

From the polarization ellipse to the Stokes parameters I, Q, U, V G. G. Stokes, “On the Composition and Resolution of Streams of Polarized Light from different Sources” Trans. Cambridge Phil. Soc., Vol.9, 1852, pp.399-416 George Gabriel Stokes 1819-1903 The equation of polarization ellipse: All the information about polarization is contained in this equation.

From the polarization ellipse to the Stokes parameters I, Q, U, V George Gabriel Stokes 1819-1903 In order to observe the quantities involved let take the time average <...> of the time dependent quantities in the Polarization Ellipse equation. where

From the polarization ellipse to the Stokes parameters I, Q, U, V We obtain By adding and subtracting on the left side of this equation we obtain

The Stokes polarization parameters I, Q, U, V The Stokes Parameters are defined as: The Stokes vector is defined as:

The Stokes polarization parameters I, Q, U, V Definition: The Stokes parameters I, Q, U, V are equivalents of parameters of the polarization ellipse Ax, Ay, and  = x –  y measurable by polarimetric means. Context: The parameters of the polarization ellipse Ax, Ay, and  = x –  y are modified by physical parameters of medium (e.g. by the magnetic or electric fields generating anisotropy.)

Measuring the Stokes parameters I, Q, U, V Consider a quasi-monochromatic wave of: mean frequency  propagating in z direction composed of a UnPolarized component AUP with random phases δrx and δry and a Polarized component AxP, δx , AyP, δy

Measuring the Stokes parameters I, Q, U, V Simple polarimeter waveplate (retarder) + linear polarizer

Measuring the Stokes parameters I, Q, U, V Pass the beam through a waveplate that induces a wave retardation of φ and a linear polarizer with a transmission axis at an angle β relative to x axis

Measuring the Stokes parameters I, Q, U, V The waveplate that induces a wave retardation of φ between the phases of x and y components of the polarized light but will not affect the random phase of the unpolarized light. The polarizer transmits only the component along the transmission axis.

Measuring the Stokes parameters I, Q, U, V The time average Poynting vector is:

Measuring the Stokes parameters I, Q, U, V

Measuring the Stokes parameters I, Q, U, V time averaging

Measuring the Stokes parameters I, Q, U, V How to interpret the above equation: The output Pointing vector (i.e. intensity) of the simple polarimeter is a linear combination of the Stokes parameters I, Q, U, V.

Measuring the Stokes parameters I, Q, U, V The Stokes parameters are measured by first removing the waveplate, i.e. φ = 0 Now the polarizer is sequentially rotated to β = 0, π/4 and π/2 For the final measurement we add the waveplate with φ = π/2 and polarizer at β = π/4

Measuring the Stokes parameters I, Q, U, V Recipe waveplate removed = 0 i.e. no retardance only rotation of polarizer
