Hi everyone. This isn't for a class but more for lab work. I'm confused on how to read optics diagrams to understand this Glan-Taylor prism, specifically the up and down arrow vs the dot. Does the arrow pointing up and down mean that it is vertically polarized. Is the dot horizontally polarized. What is the relation between vertical and horizontal polarization and s and p polarization.
I have the book Hecht optics volume 4 and am looking at it for reference. I see pictures like this a lot but am unsure which part explains the basics of how to read these diagrams. Thanks and happy New Year
