Abstract: | Some facts of the theory of the Lorentz group are specified for looking at the problems of light polarization optics in the
frames of vector Stokes-Mueller and spinor Jones formalism. In view of great differences between properties of isotropic and
time-like vectors in Special Relativity we should expect principal differences in describing completely polarized and partly
polarized light. In particular, substantial differences are revealed when turning to spinor techniques in the context of the
polarized light. |
