Measuring Stokes parameters by means of a polarization grating
Abstract
Ordinary gratings act on the amplitude and (or) the phase of a wave front. Polarization gratings produce instead a periodic modulation of the state of polarization. A simple grating of the latter type is constituted by a linear polarizer whose orientation varies periodically along a line. It is shown that, for a generic polarization state of the incident field, such a grating gives rise to first-order diffracted beams with counterrotating circular polarizations. It is also shown that such a grating can be used for measuring the Stokes parameters of a light beam in an achromatic manner. Several extensions are briefly discussed.

Incident light does not resolve the fine-structure of a metasurface, so the metasurface can be considered an effective interface discontinuity that may control both the amplitude and phase of reflected and/or transmitted light.
“Accordingly, incident light does not resolve the fine-structure of the metasurface and it can, for this reason, be considered as an effective interface discontinuity that may control both the amplitude and phase of the reflected and/or transmitted light.”

Metasurfaces are characterized by a subwavelength thickness in the direction of beam propagation, while the transverse plane consists of an array of metallic particles with subwavelength periodicity.

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.
