Figure 2
When the quarter-waveplate is rotated to θp = 22.5°, the retrieved (a) spectral and (b) temporal amplitudes and phases of the polarization components determine the temporal polarization state shown in (c). (d–f) illustrate the corresponding amplitudes, phases, and the temporal polarization state when the quarter-waveplate is rotated to θp = 45°. (g) Comparison of the temporal evolution of retrieved polarization ellipse parameters δϕ(t), χ(t), and ψ(t), corresponding to various angles of the quarter-waveplate θp. (h) Dependence of the retrieved polarization ellipse parameters δϕ(0), χ(0), and ψ(0) at time t = 0 on the set angle of the quarter-waveplate θp. All of the data were obtained with the quartz plate set at a fixed angle θz = −45°.
