Parameters of a Polarizer Surface
Polarizer Surface V1.0
Open a polarizer surface V1.0 to access this parameters.
Description
Define a name for you polarizer surface.
Easy Axis
It is the easy axis vector.
Set the X, Y, Z values.
Polarizer Surface V2.0
Open an existing polarizer surface V2.0 or create a new polarizer surface to access this parameters.
Description
Define a name for you polarizer surface.
X Axis
It is the X axis vector defined in the global axis system.
Set the X, Y, Z values.
Y Axis
It is the Y axis vector. It has to be perpendicular to the X axis.
Set the X, Y, Z values.
Note: The angle between two axes should be minimum 45°.
Note: X axis vector and Y axis vector do not need to be normalized. Vector length can be different than 1.
Values are automatically normalized when saving the surface. You can click 
to preview the normalized values.
to preview the normalized values.Jones Matrix
It is the Jones Matrix defined in the X and Y base.
Note: In case the Jones Matrix contains complex values, the convention is
(a,b) with a the real part and b the imaginary part.
Note: Polarizer surfaces v2.0 are perfect.
There is no loss of energy. Jones matrices are normalized for calculation.
