偏振波束的斯托克斯参量的矩阵形式

MATRIX FOR THE REPRESENTATION OF STOKES PARAMETERS OF POLARIZED BEAM OF LIGHT

任意偏振波的偏振状态可由斯托克斯参量Ｉ，Ｑ，Ｕ，Ｖ确定．根据这组参量均为强度量且具有可加性，本文提出用矩阵的形式来表示斯托克斯参量，从而使得任意偏振波的分解以及偏振度的定义等更为简洁明了．

The state of an arbitrarily polarized beam of light can be determined by Stokes parameters. By use of matrix for the representation of Stokes parameters,the resolution of the arbitrarily polarized beam of light and the definition of polarization degrees can be represented simply and directly.
