Abstract
In this paper, photoelastic problems involving optical activity are analysed using Stokes parameters. A set of differential equations equivalent to the Maxwell-Neumann equations is derived which yields results with greater ease than other currently available methods. A few specific problems are solved by using these equations. A brief discussion on the use of scattered light methods in problems with optical activity is also included.

Optical phenomena in photoelastic models by the rotation of principal axes

TL;DR: In this article, the basic equations of photoelasticity are derived in a form which is simpler than that of equations known previously, using the matrix representation of the solution of these equations, and it is shown that when rotation of principal axes is present there always exist two perpendicular directions of polarizer by which the light emerging from the model is linearly polarized.
