Figure 2

Intensity, phase, and polarization characteristics of the output beam from the TMF. (a) Two-lobe intensity profile, (b) -phase shifted interference pattern of the output beam with unpolarized reference beam, (c) calculated Stokes parameters of the output beam from the six related measurements, (d) calculated polarization ellipse overlapped on the beam intensity pattern: green-right elliptical polarized, red-left elliptical polarized, and blue-linear polarization or no light, (e) high-resolution polarization ellipse map of a small portion of the pattern in (d).
