2. Plane polarized light (线偏振光 or 平面偏振光) The oscillating direction of light vector is always located in a fixed plane. The end of the light vector moves with constant speed in a circle, or in an ellipse. §17-12 Polarization of light Law of Malus §17-13 Polarization by Reflection and Refraction II. Brewster law §17-14 Double refraction II. Characteristic of birefringence of light ? When the optical axis is located in the incident plane, the principle planes of o-ray and e-ray coincide. The oscillating directions of o-ray and e-ray are perpendicular to each other. III. Explanation of birefringence phenomenon I.

Circularly polarized light The electric field vector in electromagnetic wave are sensitive for most detectors. -- -vector is called light vector. Classification Electromagnetic wave is transverse wave 1. Natural light (Unpolarized light) The amplitudes of light vectors along all directions at the plane which is perpendicular to the direction of propagation have same magnitude. Oscillating plane Light vector 3. Partially polarized light (部分偏振光) The amplitudes of light vectors along all directions at the plane which is perpendicular to the direction of propagation have different magnitude. 4.
