摘要

本教程概述了非傍轴光偏振的局部描述，电场的所有笛卡尔分量都是重要的。在全偏振的情况下，每个点处的光的偏振由$3$分量矢量表征，或者在部分偏振的情况中由$3\×3$偏振矩阵表征。傍轴偏振的标准概念，如偏振度、斯托克斯参数和庞加莱球，对非傍轴光具有非唯一或非平凡的推广。这项工作旨在澄清其中的一些差异，提出一些新的概念，并提供一个框架，突出与旁轴机制描述的异同。特别强调几何解释。

Geometric descriptions for the polarization of nonparaxial light: a tutorial

This tutorial provides an overview of the local description of polarization for nonparaxial light, for which all Cartesian components of the electric field are significant. The polarization of light at each point is characterized by a $3$ component vector in the case of full polarization or by a $3\times3$ polarization matrix for partial polarization. Standard concepts for paraxial polarization like the degree of polarization, the Stokes parameters and the Poincar\'e sphere then have generalizations for nonparaxial light that are either not unique or not trivial. This work aims to clarify some of these discrepancies, present some new concepts, and provide a framework that highlights the similarities and differences with the description for the paraxial regimes. Particular emphasis is placed on geometric interpretations.
