        About

        -----

        Pylarization is a Python module that aids in processing light

        polarization states. For given method of polarization description it can 

        calculate all parameters of a polarization ellipse.

        

        Installation

        ------------

        

        The following should do, as pylarization does not have any

        platform-specific dependancies.

        

        .. code-block:: sh

        

           pip install pylarization

        

        Usage

        -----

        

        Polarization Ellipse

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        

        PolarizationEllipse is the base class for all classes describing different 

        methods of describing the state of polarization.

        

        To create an instance it is necessary to supply light amplitudes along

        the X and Y axes and the phase difference between the amplitudes.

        

        .. code-block:: python

        

           light = PolarizationEllipse(0.445, 0.89, 1.57)

        

        

        Vectors

        ~~~~~~~

        

        Jones Vector

        ^^^^^^^^^^^^

        

        .. code-block:: python

        

           light = JonesVector(0.445, 0.89j)

        

        Stokes Vector

        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

        

        .. code-block:: python

        

           light = StokesVector(1, 0.6, 0, 0.8)

        

        Matrices

        ~~~~~~~~

        

        Jonex Matrix

        ^^^^^^^^^^^^

        

        .. code-block:: python

        

           matrix_values = numpy.matrix([[1, 0], [0, -1j]])

           light = JonesMatrix(matrix_values) *  JonesVector(1, -1j)

           light.vector

           matrix([[ 1.+0.j],

                   [-1.+0.j]])

        

        Mueller Matrix

        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

        

        .. code-block::

        

           matrix_values = numpy.matrix([[0.5, 0.5, 0, 0], [0.5, 0.5, 0, 0], [0 , 0, 0, 0], [0 , 0, 0, 0]])

           light = MuellerMatrix(matrix_values) *  StokesVector(1, 0, 0, 0)

           light.vector

           matrix([[0.5],

                   [0.5],

                   [0. ],

                   [0. ]])

        

        Coherency Matrix

        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
