  1. Experiment 2 Linear and Circular States of Polarization

  2. Linear Polarization 𝑒 = 𝟏 𝜐 8 𝑒 = πŸ‘ 𝜐 𝑒 = πŸ’ 𝜐 𝑒 = 𝟐 𝜐 8 8 8 𝑒 = πŸ• 𝜐 𝑒 = πŸ– 𝜐 𝑒 = πŸ” 𝜐 𝑒 = πŸ“ 𝜐 8 8 8 8 𝑒 = πŸ— 𝜐 8

  3. Rotating Linearly Polarized Light

  4. 𝑷𝑸𝑴 = 𝝁 πœ π’– = 𝝊 Half-Wave Plate: πŸ‘ , πŸ‘ , 𝜠𝝌 = 𝛒 fast Input slow After propagation through the half wave-plate fast slow Output

  5. Half-Wave Plate fast Input slow After propagation through the half wave-plate fast slow Output

  6. Aligning the HWP for rotating the linear polarization by 𝟘𝟏° HWP LP LP Laser Detector
