    Plotting the polarization ellipse

    I also have a quarter wave plate to distinguish between right and left circular polarization, but I am unclear on how to go about that also. This is a project for my work, and I am simply not up to speed on the requisite optics background to finish it is all. Thanks for any help!

    Plotting the polarization ellipse

    So if I simply take the square root of the intensity value as a function of time I can plot that against rotational angle in a polar plot?

    Plotting the polarization ellipse

    Hello, I am tasked with plotting the polarization state of a laser (basically I've made a polarimeter), but I really have no idea where to go at this point. Below is a sample of the program I have written with some real data that I just took from a laser. I have the intensity profile as a...
