Effect of ray refraction on evolution of the polarization state of radiation propagating in a nonuniform, birefringent, optically active and dichroic medium
The differential equation derived previously [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 17, 95 (2000)] that describes the evolution of the polarization state of radiation propagating in a nonuniform, anisotropic, and dichroic medium is extended to include the effect of ray refraction.
