Geometric phase of optical rotators
Abstract
We describe the rotation of images by means of optical beam steering with use of the concept of geometric phase. The discussion is concentrated on systems composed of discrete reflections but can be generalized to refractive steering systems. Geometric phase reduces the analysis of image rotation to simple geometric constructions and the calculation of areas on a sphere. The analysis also applies to the rotation of linear polarization of the light with ideal mirrors.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
