Polarization of light using Mueller matrix

[QUOTE="Nur Ziadah, post: 6027139, member: 644865"] Hi everyone First of all, I am a computer science student and I have a question regarding the polarization of light as stated in an article entitled "Multi-stage quantum secure communication using polarization hopping" by Rifai et al.,2015. Given the Mueller matrix: [ATTACH=full]228113[/ATTACH] The input of light state is: [ATTACH=full]228114[/ATTACH] And lastly, the operation to produce the output of light after it go through a half wave plate: [ATTACH=full]228115[/ATTACH] After I do the calculation, the S_out for the θx=0° is [1 1 0 0] meaning that the light is horizontally polarized. However, when the θx=45°, I didn't get the vertical light polarization [1 -1 0 0] as stated in wikipedia: [ATTACH=full]228119[/ATTACH] This is the result of my calculation using Python programming language: [ATTACH=full]228118[/ATTACH] It seems that my vertical polarization of light is wrong. I hope that anyone may help me to clarify this problem. Thank you so much & regards. [/QUOTE]
