Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Two new graphical methods for determining the action of a system of polarizers and retarders are presented. The derivation and construction of these graphical methods are simple and direct and do not involve the conventional Poincaré sphere representation or quarternions.
