Birefringence in inhomogeneous stress fields
Source abstract
Abstract
The propagation of polarised light through a birefringent medium subjected to an inhomogeneous stress field in the direction of propagation, is usually described in terms of Neumann's differential equations, the Poincaré sphere, or 2times2 complex transformation matrices. A comparative treatment of these three methods is presented.
