Homogeneous polarized light by non-quadrature amplitude modulation

A method to create homogenous polarized light based on non-quadrature amplitude modulation is proposed. This method consists of the addition of two optical fields out of phase, different from mπ and in the variation of their amplitudes, only for obtaining a resulting field modulated in both phase and amplitude. This principle is used to modulate the vertical components in both phase and amplitude, while the horizontal component is varied in amplitude but with a constant phase. Thus, any amplitude relation and phase difference between components can be created, and therefore any polarization state could be obtained. A theoretical model is shown and supported with numerical simulations of several polarization examples.
