  2. Optical rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_rotation

    Optical rotation, also known as polarization rotation or circular birefringence, is the rotation of the orientation of the plane of polarization about the optical axis of linearly polarized light as it travels through certain materials.

  3. Stokes parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_parameters

    The Stokes I, Q, U and V parameters. The Stokes parameters are a set of values that describe the polarization state of electromagnetic radiation.They were defined by George Gabriel Stokes in 1851, [1] [2] as a mathematically convenient alternative to the more common description of incoherent or partially polarized radiation in terms of its total intensity (I), (fractional) degree of ...

  4. Specific rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_rotation

    The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics defines specific rotation as: For an optically active substance, defined by [α] θ λ = α/γl, where α is the angle through which plane polarized light is rotated by a solution of mass concentration γ and path length l.

  5. Polarimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarimeter

    This will happen only when the analyzer is rotated by the same angle by which the plane of polarization of light is rotated by the optically active solution. The position of the analyzer is again noted. The difference of the two readings will give the angle of rotation of the plane of polarization.

  6. Brewster's angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewster's_angle

    An illustration of the polarization of light that is incident on an interface at Brewster's angle. Brewster's angle (also known as the polarization angle ) is an angle of incidence at which light with a particular polarization is perfectly transmitted through a transparent dielectric surface, with no reflection .

  7. Polarization mixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_mixing

    These are the result of polarization mixing caused by changes in the attitude of the aircraft, particularly the roll angle. Since there are plenty of data points, rather than correcting the bad data, the authors simply exclude points for which the angle, , is too large. The result is shown at far right.

  8. Fresnel equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_equations

    The p polarization refers to polarization of the electric field in the plane of incidence (the xy plane in the derivation below); then the magnetic field is normal to the plane of incidence. The names "s" and "p" for the polarization components refer to German "senkrecht" (perpendicular or normal) and "parallel" (parallel to the plane of ...

  9. Polarimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarimetry

    Polarimetry is the measurement and interpretation of the polarization of transverse waves, most notably electromagnetic waves, such as radio or light waves. Typically polarimetry is done on electromagnetic waves that have traveled through or have been reflected, refracted or diffracted by some material in order to characterize that object. [1] [2]
