Thank you very much! :)

Thanks for the help, I think the closest solution is a half wave plate tilt by pi/8. The resulting jones matrix has the same values of the rotator one, but differs in 2 signs.

Thank you for your answer. In my experiment I don't use the backward propagation of the light, I only use the forward one. My goal is to achieve the same 45° polarization rotation using the waveplates instead.

Hi all I'm trying to replicate the effect of a 45° Faraday rotator using a series of waveplates instead. I've encountered some difficulties using the jones matrix notation, due to the differencies of the matrix formulas between the books I'm referring to. The main book I'm using is...
