Singular polarimetry: evolution of polarization singularities in electromagnetic waves propagating in a weakly anisotropic medium.
We describe the evolution of a paraxial electromagnetic wave characterizing by a non-uniform polarization distribution with singularities and propagating in a weakly anisotropic medium. Our approach is based on the Stokes vector evolution equation applied to a non-uniform initial polarization field. In the case of a homogeneous medium, this equation is integrated analytically. This yields a 3-d...
متن کاملVisualization of electromagnetic-wave polarization evolution using the Poincaré sphere.
For the first time to the best of our knowledge, we derive expressions for coordinates of the trajectory on the Poincaré sphere that represent polarization evolution in an arbitrary beam of completely polarized light. Our work substantially extends the mapping function of the Poincaré sphere, and opens up new possibilities for its use in optics. In particular, the obtained expressions allow one...
متن کاملParameters characterizing electromagnetic wave polarization
In this paper, generalizations of the Stokes parameters and alternative characterizations of three-dimensional (3D) time-varying electromagnetic fields is introduced. One of these characteristics is the normal of the polarization plane, which, in many cases of interest, is parallel (or antiparallel) to the direction of propagation. Others are the two spectral density Stokes parameters which des...
متن کاملSimulation of Electromagnetic Diffusion in Anisotropic Media
I present an algorithm to simulate low-frequency electromagnetic propagation in an anisotropic earth, described by a general (non-diagonal) conductivity tensor. I solve the electric formulation by explicitly imposing an approximate form of the condition ∇ · J = 0, where J is the current density vector, which includes the source and the induced current. The numerical algorithm consists of a full...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Field Representation in Inhomogeneous Anisotropic Media*
Some of the basic developments in the theory of electromagnetic field representation in terms of Hertz vectors are reviewed. A solution for the field in an inhomogeneous anisotropic medium is given in terms of the two Hertz vectors. Conditions for presentation of the field in terms of uncoupled transverse electric and transverse magnetic modes, in a general orthogonal coordinate system, are der...
