Stokes eigenvectors and evolution of the polarization of light in an anisotropic medium

Stokes eigenvectors and evolution of the polarization of light in an anisotropic medium

The problem of evolution of the Stokes vector of a wave upon its transmission through an arbitrary homogeneous anisotropic medium with a non-Hermitian dielectric tensor has been solved in the general form. Explicit expressions for the Stokes vectors of eigenwaves have been obtained.
