Please include any workings and calculations that you performed in completing the assignment. An optical device is formed from 3 successive elements: 1. A quarter-wave plate that has a vertical fast axis, 2. A linear polarizer that is orientated with a transmission axis that is at +45° to the vertical and 3. A second quarter waveplate with a fast axis that is orientated horizontally. Calculate the Jones matrix of this system and use this to analyse its response to i) horizontal linear polarization; ii) vertical linear polarization; iii) right circular polarization; iv) left circular polarization. What is the output state in each case, using the x-axis as a reference and stating the intensity transmittance? Based on this, how would you describe this device? Please justify your answer.
