Classical theory of the optical Venn paradox

Classical theory of the optical Venn paradox

The optical Venn paradox is observed on light crossing three successive linear polarizers whose axes are oriented along x and y and at 45° between x and y. This observation has not yet been understood within the usual formalism of classical electromagnetism. Here, we develop a classical explanation...

Zusammenfassung:The optical Venn paradox is observed on light crossing three successive linear polarizers whose axes are oriented along x and y and at 45° between x and y. This observation has not yet been understood within the usual formalism of classical electromagnetism. Here, we develop a classical explanation where the theory is based on the use of potentials.
