Liquid crystals (LCs) play an important role in several key areas of flat panel displays and switchable optical devices due to their large optical anisotropy and fabrication flexibility. To fully utilize these LC devices for modern optics, the nature of the polarization of light and theory of the propagation of optical waves in such anisotropic media should be understood. In this lecture, the representations of the polarization such as Jones Vector/Matrix and Stokes Parameters are introduced. Also, applications of such representations to the simple LC devices are described to explain their electro-optic properties. |
