Degree-of-Polarization Optical Computing Lab

3D Poincaré Sphere State Space Partially Polarized (DoP < 1.0)

S0: 1.000 S1: 0.850 S2: 0.000 S3: 0.000 DoP: 0.850

Degree of Polarization (DoP) 0.85

Stokes Intensity (S0) 1.00

Azimuth Angle (2ψ) 0°

Ellipticity Angle (2χ) 0°

Stokes Space Mapping: Radial depth from the center represents Degree of Polarization (DoP = r/S0). The state vector sits at radial distance 0.85 inside the sphere, representing partially coherent tensor modulation.
