Cancellation of simple optical anisotropies without use of a Faraday mirror
Rajendra Bhandari
We first derive the round-trip Jones matrix for double passage through a reciprocal optical medium by means of reflection off a plane mirror that could be optically anisotropic. We…
Transpose symmetry of the Jones Matrix and topological phases
Rajendra Bhandari
The transmission Jones matrix of an arbitrary stack of reciprocal plane parallel plates which has been turned through 180 degrees about an axis in the plane of the stack is, in an…
Light propagation through a coiled optical fiber and Pancharatnam phase
Rajendra Bhandari
The nature of changes in the interference pattern caused by the presence of polarization-changing elements in one or both beams of an interferometer, in particular those caused by…
Nonachromaticity and reversals of topological phase as a function of wavelength
Rajendra Bhandari
In an earlier work (R. Bhandari, Phys. Lett. A 204 (1995) 188), it was shown that, contrary to the property of achromaticity (independence of wavelength) usually associated with to…
Comment on ``Experimental Separation of Geometric and Dynamical Phases Using Neutron Interferometry"
Rajendra Bhandari
We analyse a recently reported neutron interference experiment to measure a geometric phase and attempt to bring out the inadequacy of the ``phase modulo 2π" approach to the geomet…
