(0,1)1 |
1/2 is a normalization coefficient avoiding to create energy when the light goes through the polarizer. As code of the polarizer surface V2.0 file takes into account the normalization, this coefficient is not required in the Jones Matrix. |

0-1 |
Warning: No global phase angle difference equal on X and Y is taken into account in theses matrix because photons' phase is not kept in calculations.
