POLARIZATION-BASED METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING DUALITY MODULATED ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION

摘要

A polarization-based generator of duality modulated electromagnetic radiation, and a related method, by which the duality ratio of the energy-based irradiance and wave-based intensity may be selectively altered. A linearly polarized coherent radiation beam is incident on a polarizer configuration. Relative angular alignment of the beam's polarization and the polarizer configuration selectively provides output beams ranging from totally energy-depleted radiation to significantly energy-enriched radiation.
