光偏振态变换的群论描述:变换矩阵与群论的对应关系

Description of Polarized Light Using Group Theory: Relationship of Correspondance Between Matrices and Group Theory

  • 摘要: 讨论了无耗和部分损耗偏振光系统的3种计算方法——Jones矩阵、Mueller矩阵和Poincaré球与二维特殊酉SU(2)群、三维实特殊转动正交SO(3)群之间的对应关系,建立了二向色性或圆二向色性与Lorentz变换群之间的对应关系,说明了可用群论作为偏振光计算的基础.

     

    Abstract: Relationships between the Jones matrix, Mueller matrix and Poincaré sphere--three polarization calculus methods and the group theory for transparent and partially transparent polarized light systems are discussed. Relationship between dichroism or circular dichroism and Lorentz transformation is built up. Thus it is shown that a basis can be set up using the group theory calculus for the polarized light.
