Polarization distribution and degree of polarization for three-dimensional quantum light fields
We introduce a probability distribution for polarization of three-dimensional quantum light fields as a marginal of the quadrature Q function for a three-mode field by removing the variables irrelevant for polarization stotal intensity and global phased. The probability distribution turns out to be determined by projection on SUs3d coherent states. We introduce a degree of polarization as the d...
متن کاملThree-dimensional polarization states of monochromatic light fields.
The 3×1 generalized Jones vectors (GJVs) [E(x) E(y) E(z)](t) (t indicates the transpose) that describe the linear, circular, and elliptical polarization states of an arbitrary three-dimensional (3-D) monochromatic light field are determined in terms of the geometrical parameters of the 3-D vibration of the time-harmonic electric field. In three dimensions, there are as many distinct linear pola...
متن کاملDegree of polarization for optical near fields.
We investigate an extension to the concept of degree of polarization that applies to arbitrary electromagnetic fields, i.e., fields whose wave fronts are not necessarily planar. The approach makes use of generalized spectral Stokes parameters that appear as coefficients, when the full 3 x 3 spectral coherence matrix is expanded in terms of the Gell-Mann matrices. By defining the degree of polar...
متن کاملA three-dimensional degree of polarization based on Rayleigh scattering.
A measure of the degree of polarization for the three-dimensional polarization matrix (coherence matrix) of an electromagnetic field is proposed, based on Rayleigh scattering. The degree of polarization at a point is defined as an average, over all scattering directions, of an imagined dipole scattering of the three-dimensional state of polarization. This gives a well-defined purity measure, wh...
متن کاملDegree of polarization in quantum optics
Quantum optics entails polarization properties that cannot be fully described by the classical Stokes parameters. In this work, we characterize the polarization of classical as well as quantum fields by means of a probability distribution on the Poincaré sphere. This serves to define the degree of polarization of a field state as the distance between the corresponding polarization distribution ...
