We extend the scope of the Mueller calculus to parallel that established by Jones for his calculus. We find that the Stokes vector S of a light beam that propagates through a linear depolarizing anisotropic medium obeys the first-order linear differential equation dS/dz = mS, where z is the...
Since the beam travels at 100% lightspeed and the starship is moving at 50% lightspeed, then the combined velocity should be 100 + 50 = 150% the speed of light, right? Not so fast, it don't work like that, nohow. As it turns out, velocities do not add. Instead rapidities add. ...
A comparison between the double-complex and Jones vector calculus is also shown. Transformation formulas derived in the paper describe the changes of polarisation or unpolarisation state of a beam transmitted through various types of linear birefringence polarisers and retarders....
The light then enters a modified Leica DMR microscope in which a beamsplitter separates the light for the object and an optional mounted reference branch. The reference branch consists of a Linnik-type interferometer setup, which is needed to attain the high numerical aperture of 0.95 of the ...
A thin layer of alumina is deposited using electron-beam deposition, and the excess resist is stripped using a bath of N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) at 85 °C for 4 h. Finally, the pattern is transferred into the silicon layer by reactive ion etching....

Jones CalculusThe polarization state of monochromatic light is often described with a Jones vector, having complex electric field amplitudes for x and y direction, if propagation occurs in z direction. That Jones vector may be constant over some area across the beam, or it may vary, for ...
We show this with the Jones calculus, using an incident vertically-polarized beam. ##SPC1## Now if the thickness of the disc 10 varies in such a way that Γ/2 = γ + 2 Nπ where N = any integer and where γ is the clockwise angular position measured from the radial ridge line, ...

Fractional calculusPhotothermally-activated energy transfer effects were analyzed by a vectorial two-wave mixing technique. Single-wall carbon nanotubes in thin film form were experimentally evaluated by nanosecond pulses at 532 nm wavelength. Significant changes in the heat conduction derived by equivalent...
