Web. . For partially polarized three-dimensional electromagnetic fields, the polarization state is usually expressed in terms of nine generalized Stokes parameters, the coefficients of the nine. Web. The Stokes formulation for representing polarized light is discussed along with the classical measurement method for determining the Stokes polarization parameters.

They were defined by George Gabriel Stokes in 1852, as a mathematically convenient alternative to the more common description of incoherent or partially polarized radiation in terms of its total intensity (I), (fractional) degree of polarization (p), and the. Web. Web. Web. Specifically, one can multiply |E|2 by a factor that converts it into the specific intensity Iν, then do the same for the other Stokes parameters: Qν, Uν, and Vν. In this paper, we use geometric algebra to describe the polarization ellipse and Stokes parameters.
