Polarization ray tracing in anisotropic optically active media
Optical Society of America Annual Meeting, 1991We present algorithms for polarization ray tracing through uniaxial optically active crystals, such as quartz, in a form specifically suited for integration into optical design software. These algorithms incorporate ray directions, polarization modes, optical path lengths, and Fresnel transmission and reflection equations.

Ray tracing with polarization parameters
IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 1990Incorporating polarization parameters into the lighting model can enhance the physical realism of images rendered with a ray tracer. Polarization effects can be important in certain scenes, and the difference in rendering even simple scenes with and without proper treatment of polarization can be striking.

Birefringent Polarization Ray Tracing
Optical Design for Photonics, 1993The fundamental tool used for design and analysis of optical systems is geometric ray tracing. In isotropic, homogeneous, non-optically active media the procedure is simple -- rays travel in straight lines except at interfaces, where reflection and refraction occur.

MODIS polarization ray tracing analysis
SPIE Proceedings, 2005On-orbit optical sensors are the primary data source for the remote sensing community. A rigorous pre-flight characterization and calibration is a key to the success of their mission. Indeed, preliminary calibration and correction factors are determined during this process.

Polarization Ray Tracing In Birefringent Media
SPIE Proceedings, 1988A method which uses a single algorithm to trace rays in isotropic media and both ordinary and extraordinary rays in uniaxial media is presented. This method is designed to be compatible with conventional raytracing algorithms so that it is easily integrated into existing raytracing programs.

Polarization Ray Tracing in Twisted Liquid Crystal Systems
Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals, 2002In this paper it will be presented different ray trace models that are able to simulate uniaxial birefringent optical elements with twisted structure. There exist already methods to calculate the optical behavior of birefringent elements (including angular dependence) such as the Jones matrix method [2].

Optical Engineering, 1989
A ray representing a vector wave is traced through an optical system. The electric field perpendicular to the (ray) direction of propagation is represented by a Jones vector. At each surface the results of a thin-film calculation are used to form a "surface" Jones matrix.

Progress in polarization ray tracing
SPIE Proceedings, 1994Polarization ray tracing is a collection of methods that extend geometrical ray tracing allowing the calculation of the evolution of polarization states along ray paths and the determination of the intrinsic polarization properties, such as diattenuation and retardance, associated with ray paths.

Topics in polarization ray tracing for image projectors
SPIE Proceedings, 2005Many subtle effects arise when tracing polarization along rays that converge or diverge to form an image. This paper concentrates on a few examples that are notable for the challenges they pose in properly analyzing vector imaging problems. A striking example is the Federov-Imbert shift, in which coating phase-shifts cause a reflected beam to ...

Polarization Ray Tracing for Space Optics
Optics and Photonics News, 2006Polarization ray tracing made its debut as a bona fide feature of optical design and analysis software about 20 years ago. This article traces how one of the first industrial strength automated PRT capabilities was created.
