StokesParameters.nb 3.6.3. Stokes Parameters Ref: Optics by Hecht and Polaried Light by Shurcliff Let us have 4 filters, each of which transmits 5% of natural radiation # isotropic filter, passing all states equally, transmits I o # linear polarier, transmission axes are horiontal, transmits I #3 linear polarier, at 45, transmits I #4 circular polarier, opaque to L-state, I 3 Define Stokes parameters S o = I o S = I - I o S = I - I o S 3 = I 3 - I o S o is the incident irradiance. The other 3 Stokes parameters specify the state of polariation é S If S >, resembles horiontal polariation If S <, resembles vertical polariation If S =, beam shows no preferential orientation Hi.e. elliptical at 45, circular, unpolariedl
