Revisiting optical rotation in helically-coiled fibers
Chun-Fang Li, Zhi-Juan Hu
The interpretation of optical rotation in optically active media as circular birefringence has persisted for over two centuries, yet the inherent fallacy in this phenomenological t…

Stokes parameters alone cannot completely characterize the polarization of plane light waves
Chun-Fang Li, Zhi-Juan Hu
It was generally assumed that the Stokes parameters are complete characterization for the state of polarization of a plane light wave so that their counterparts in quantum optics,…
