Four Stokes parameters (1852) define the polarisation state of light. Measured changes of the Stokes vector of light traversing an inhomogeneous sample are linked to the local anisotropies of absorption and refraction and are harnessed over…

This lab note introduces the "Stokes Camera," a simple and novel experimental arrangement for real-time measurement of spatial amplitude and polarisation and thus spatially resolved Stokes parameters. It uses a polarisation sensitive camera…

Polarisation states are described by spin expectation values, known as Stokes parameters, whose trajectories in a rotationally symmetric system form a sphere named after Poincar\'e. Here, we show that the trajectories of broken rotational…
