Summary
editDescriptionPoincare-sphere stokes.svg |
English: Drawing of a Poincaré sphere, which illustrates the space of possible polarisations of electromagnetic waves. The sphere is drawn with three great circles and labels for six basic polarisations H (linear horizontal), V (linear vertical), D (linear diagonal), A (linear antidiagonal), R (right-hand circular) and L (left-hand circular). Additionally the coordinate system of Stokes vectors with components S₁, S₂ and S₃ is drawn in the center of the sphere.
Deutsch: Zeichnung einer Poincaré-Kugel, die den Raum der möglichen Polarisationen elektromagnetischer Wellen darstellt. Die Kugel ist mit drei Großkreisen gezeichnet und mit Zeichen für die sechs Basispolarisationen H (linear horizontal), V (linear vertikal), D (linear diagonal), A (linear antidiagonal), R (rechtshändig zirkular) and L (linkshändig zirkular). Zusätzlich befindet sich im Zentrum der Kugel das Koordinatensystem aus Stokesvektorkomponenten S₁, S₂ and S₃. |
