Two incoherent lightbeams represented by (1, 1, 0, 0) and (3, 0, 0, 3) are superimposed. (a)

Question:

Two incoherent lightbeams represented by (1, 1, 0, 0) and (3, 0, 0, 3) are superimposed.

(a) Describe in detail the polarization states of each of these.

(b) Determine the resulting Stokes parameters of the combined beam and describe its polarization state.

(c) What is its degree of polarization?

(d) What is the resulting light produced by overlapping the incoherent beams (1, 1, 0, 0) and (1, -1, 0, 0)? Explain.
