Lecture

Linear Polarization Analysis

Description

This lecture covers the correction of exercise one of Q7D, where a linear polarization aligned with the x-axis passes through a quarter wave plate and a polarizer at an angle theta. The quarter wave plate adds a phase change of pi over 2, but since the polarization is only on the x-axis, it does not affect the analysis. The polarizer, to maximize output intensity, should be aligned with the x-axis, making theta zero.
