TLDR
In this paper, interference experiments between elliptically polarized light beams are described, and it is shown that when beams of light in orthogonal states of elliptical polarization are used no interference fringes are observed.Abstract:

Polarization of light and topological phases
TL;DR: In this article, a survey and analysis of recent work on topological phases with polarization of light is presented, which has revealed several counterintuitive features of such phase shifts such as 2 nπ anholonomies, nonlinear and discontinuous behaviour originating from high singularities, peculiar spectral dependence, etc.

Understanding interference experiments with polarized light through photon trajectories
TL;DR: In this article, a trajectory-based theoretical framework is considered to study and analyze the outcome from Young-type diffraction experiments within the context of the Arago-Fresnel laws.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of light polarization on the interference patterns behind a diffracting grating was investigated experimentally and theoretically, and the experiments were analyzed in terms of electromagnetic energy flow lines, which can be eventually identified with the paths followed by photons.

Interference with polarized light beams: Generation of spatially varying polarization
TL;DR: In this article, a method based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer was proposed to analyze the superposition of polarized laser beams at a given angle, and the spatially varying polarization state of the resulting field, also known as a polarization grating, generated by this setup.
