Poincaré Rotator for Vortexed Photons

A Poincaré sphere is a powerful prescription to describe a polarized state of coherent photons, oscillating along certain directions. The polarized state is described by a vector in the sphere, and various passive optical components, such as polarization plates and quartz rotators are able to rotate...
