Question:
Polarization of Light and Wave Retarder A quarter-wave plate (QWP) is oriented such that its fast and slow axes are aligned along the X and Y axes of the laboratory coordinate system. A beam of linearly polarized light characterized by the Jones vector J=(1/2;-1/2) traverses the plate. What will be the polarization state of the beam of light at the output of the plate? Quantify and describe the polarization state at the output (linear? elliptical? what is the phase shift?
