POLARIZATION EFFECTS GENERATED THROUGH THE SCATTERING OF LIGHT BY METALLIC CYLINDERS

"In this work, the effects of the interaction between a thin metallic cylinder and a polarized optical field on the generation of both, unconventional and conventional polarization states are presented. In the first study, two different kinds of cylinders under conical incidence were analyzed:...

Descripción
Sumario:"In this work, the effects of the interaction between a thin metallic cylinder and a polarized optical field on the generation of both, unconventional and conventional polarization states are presented. In the first study, two different kinds of cylinders under conical incidence were analyzed: the first one was covered by a thin film of silver, which was done with the objective of improving the quality of the scattered light and reducing the possible effects of the scattering on the results in relationship with roughness on the surface; the second one was a nickel cylinder (an electric guitar string) chosen with the intention of proving that the method of generation is capable of giving good results without a well-defined surface and with a different diameter. The interactions of the lineal horizontal and vertical polarization states with the cylinders were measured around 360º, using a conical geometry of illumination, yielding azimuthal and radial polarization states as a resultant."
