Examines the basic concepts and methods involved in polarization of light, and features important methods of analysis such as Jones matrices, Stokes parameters, and Poincaré sphere. It provides the background needed to understand the workings of, and to design, various photonic devices, including Faraday rotators, inline fibre optic components such as polarizers and wave plates, and polarimetric sensors such as fibre optic current sensors.
