Polarized Light and Optical Systems presents polarization optics for undergraduate and graduate students in a way which makes classroom teaching relevant to current issues in optical engineering. This curriculum has been developed and refined for a decade and a half at the University of Arizonas College of Optical Sciences. Polarized Light and Optical Systems provides a reference for the optical engineer and optical designer in issues related to building polarimeters, designing displays, and polarization critical optical systems. The central theme of Polarized Light and Optical Systems is a unifying treatment of polarization elements as optical elements and optical elements as polarization elements. Read more...

Polarized Light and Optical Systems addresses the need for a polarized light class for undergraduate and graduate students using a curriculum that has been developed and refined for a decade at the University of Arizonas College of Optical Sciences. This book is also intended as a reference for the optical engineer and optical designer in building polarimeters, designing polarization critical optical systems, and manipulating polarized light for a myriad of purposes.

Polarization is central to the operation of liquid crystal displays, 3D movies, advanced remote sensing satellites, microlithography systems, and numerous other products. The sophistication of optical systems that utilize polarized light has rapidly advanced as have the tools for simulation and design. The development of more accurate and complex polarizers, waveplates, polarizing beam splitters, and thin films provides designers and scientists with new choices, as well as many simulation challenges.

Unlike bees and ants, humans are essentially polarization blind. Humans miss the rich and subtle polarization information in the sky, water, and the rest of nature. Similarly, we cant see how polarized light is changing and evolving as it propagates through windshields, eyeglasses, and all nature of optical systems. Therefore, students often have difficulties understanding the importance of polarization to optical system design, metrology, image formation, atmospheric optics, and the propagation of light in tissue . Polarized Light and Optical Systems provides a guide to the optics behind these technologies by tying together the fundamentals of polarized light with the practice of the optical engineer and designer.

Polarization involves as many as 16 degrees of freedom: linear, circular and elliptical polarization, diattenuation, retardance, and depolarization. These degrees of freedom are not visible to us and thus may seem abstract. In discussions with students, we occasionally hear that polarization is regarded as complicated , difficult , and mostly misunderstood . Unfortunately, this often occurs because many polarization concepts are taught in a rushed and overly simplified treatment.

Polarized Light and Optical Systems contains detailed discussions to clarify several topics the authors have found confusing; topics often avoided the following:

  • Sign conventions for the electromagnetic field and Fresnel equations

  • The treatment of polarized light in local coordinates in the transverse plane with the Jones calculus

  • Many subtle issues of phase

  • The three degrees of freedom of retardance and the three degrees of freedom of diattenuation , which are defined in a new simpler way using matrix exponentials
