Generalization of Malus’ law and spatial coherence relations for linear polarizers and non-uniform polarizers
Abstract
We study the transmission of partially polarized, partially coherent beams through linear polarizers and polarization elements that are non-uniform. An expression for the transmitted intensity, which reproduces Malus’ law for special cases, is derived, as are formulas for the transformation of spatial coherence properties.
