Abstract
Examples are shown of the different electrical signal waveforms generated by linear photodetection of the light flux transmitted by an optical train of polarizing elements subjected to periodic azimuth or retardation modulation. A basic train is assumed that consists of parallel or orthogonal input and output linear polarizers sandwitching two linear retarders of variable azimuth or retardance. Provision is made for adding other optical elements to the train.
