Abstract

In 1956 S. Pancharatnam [1] showed that a phase is introduced between two light beams of different polarization P₁ and P₂ after they have passed through the same analyzer P. Pancharatnam's phase γ is proportional to the excess Ω(P₁, P₂, P) of the spherical triangle P₁, P₂, P on the Poincaré-sphere...
