Derivation Of Internal Incidence Angles And Coordinate Transformations Between Internal Reflections For Corner Reflectors At Normal Incidence
Abstract
Analytical expressions for the polarization properties of a corner reflector are obtained. The elements of the Jones matrices of a corner reflector are calculated as functions of rotation-induced phase retardation and polarization phase shifts at total internal reflection. The polarization properties of laser resonators containing corner reflectors are also presented.
