“…[43], the relations (17), where N m is a diagonal matrix, can be deduced from the conservation law for the energy flux in non-absorbing media that, in the case of one-dimensional inhomogeneity, requires the z component of the Poynting vector to be independent of z. The relations (17) can be rewritten in the more compact matrix form:…”

We study the angular structure of polarization of light transmitted through a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) cell by theoretically analyzing the polarization state as a function of the incidence angles. For a uniformly aligned NLC cell, the 4×4 matrix formalism and the orthogonality relations are used to derive the exact expressions for the transmission and reflection matrices. The polarization resolved angular patterns in the two-dimensional projection plane are characterized in terms of the polarization singularities such as C points (points of circular polarization) and L lines (lines of linear polarization). In the case of linearly polarized plane waves incident on the homeotropically aligned cell, we present the results of detailed theoretical analysis describing the structure of the polarization singularities. We apply the theory to compute the polarization patterns for various orientational structures in the NLC cell and discuss the effects induced by director orientation and biaxiality.

“…These methods do not offer an explanation of the light leakage for off axis light. Hence other polarization techniques such as the extended Jones vector, Berreman's 4x4 matrices, or Finite Difference Time Domain (FTDT) are used instead 4,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] .

Until recently, the phrase adaptive optics generally conjured images of large deformable mirrors being integrated into telescopes to compensate for atmospheric turbulence. However, the development of smaller, cheaper devices has sparked interest for other aerospace and commercial applications. Variable focal length lenses, liquid crystal spatial light modulators, tunable filters, phase compensators, polarization compensation, and deformable mirrors are becoming increasingly useful for other imaging applications including guidance navigation and control (GNC), coronagraphs, foveated imaging, situational awareness, autonomous rendezvous and docking, non-mechanical zoom, phase diversity, and enhanced multi-spectral imaging. The active components presented here allow flexibility in the optical design, increasing performance. In addition, the intelligent optical systems presented offer advantages in size and weight and radiation tolerance.
