The spinorial representation of polarized light and Berry phase

Published 10 Jul 2011 in physics.optics | (1107.1868v1)

Abstract: From relativistic point of view it has been shown here that a polarized photon can be visualized to give an equivalent spinorial description when the two-component spinor is the eigenvector of $2\times2$ Hermitian, Polarization matrix. The Berry phase of the initial state can be calculated by matrix method as it complete one rotation over a closed path on the Poincare's sphere.
