Exercise: Setting Up an Optical System

Explore how to set up an optical system using Jones calculus by calculating system matrices and eigenvectors with Python packages. Understand how to determine the input light Jones vector for a desired output polarization. This lesson helps you apply Python for practical optical system analysis and polarization problems.

We'll cover the following...

Now that we have learned about Jones calculus, we need to find an input light Jones vector for our desired output Jones vector. Let’s solve this problem step by step.

Task 1

We know the following information about the system:

There are a total of 6 components placed in the order of their subscripts: C1C_1, C2C_2, C3C_3, ...
