Classical and Quantum Analysis of Light Polarization in Filter Systems

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: We analyze the behavior of light as it passes through systems composed of polarizing filters at different angular orientations. The analysis is initially conducted in the context of classical optics, using Malus's Law to calculate the transmitted intensity for the cases of two perpendicular filters (0° and 90°) and three filters (0°, 45°, and 90°). We then apply quantum mechanics to describe the phenomenon using state notation and the probabilistic interpretation of the projection of the polarization states of photons.
