Parameters characterizing electromagnetic wave polarization
In this paper, generalizations of the Stokes parameters and alternative characterizations of three-dimensional (3D) time-varying electromagnetic fields is introduced. One of these characteristics is the normal of the polarization plane, which, in many cases of interest, is parallel (or antiparallel) to the direction of propagation. Others are the two spectral density Stokes parameters which des...
متن کاملJordan-Schwinger map, 3D harmonic oscillator constants of motion, and classical and quantum parameters characterizing electromagnetic wave polarization
In this work we introduce a generalization of the Jauch and Rohrlich quantum Stokes operators when the arrival direction from the source is unknown a priori. We define the generalized Stokes operators as the Jordan-Schwinger map of a triplet of harmonic oscillators with the GellMann and Ne’eman SU(3) symmetry group matrices. We show that the elements of the Jordan-Schwinger map are the constant...
متن کاملVisualization of electromagnetic-wave polarization evolution using the Poincaré sphere.
For the first time to the best of our knowledge, we derive expressions for coordinates of the trajectory on the Poincaré sphere that represent polarization evolution in an arbitrary beam of completely polarized light. Our work substantially extends the mapping function of the Poincaré sphere, and opens up new possibilities for its use in optics. In particular, the obtained expressions allow one...
متن کاملElectromagnetic wave propagation in rain and polarization effects
This paper summarizes our study on microwave and millimeter-wave propagation in rain with special emphasis on the effects of polarization. Starting from a recount of our past findings, we will discuss developments with these and how they are connected with subsequent research.
متن کاملAn electromagnetic world without polarization
The majority of natural sources (black-bodies, fluorescent bulbs, etc) generate completely un-polarized light; the majority of detectors (eyes, photo-cameras, photomultipliers, etc) are polarization-insensitive. To reflect this, we attempt to describe approximately electromagnetic waves without polarization. Corresponding scalar equations are non-trivial modifications of standard d’Alembert and...
