Reading Quiz In circularly polarized light, the two components of the E-field differ by a phase of: p/3 p/2 2p/3 p

Reading Quiz The mathematical objects that describe polarization states are ______ vectors. Jones Newton Maxwell Smith Zelazny

Circularly Polarized, pictures RCP vs LCP: which is this? Pictures from Wikipedia

Jones vectors

Elliptically polarized E still rotates at a given point in space. But E is strongest when it points along a certain line, and weakest when it points 90 degrees from that line.

Jones vector summary Linear, x Linear, y Linear, at angle a from x-axis RCP LCP RCP-like elliptical, with long axis of ellipse along x- or y-axes elliptical, axis of ellipse at an angle given by Eqn 6.12
