Description: Pylarization
        ============
        
        About
        -----
        Pylarization is a Python module that aids in processing light
        polarization states. For given method of polarization description it can 
        calculate all parameters of a polarization ellipse.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        The following should do, as pylarization does not have any
        platform-specific dependancies.
        
        .. code-block:: sh
        
           pip install pylarization
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        Polarization Ellipse
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        PolarizationEllipse is the base class for all classes describing different 
        methods of describing the state of polarization.
        
        To create an instance it is necessary to supply light amplitudes along
        the X and Y axes and the phase difference between the amplitudes.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
           light = PolarizationEllipse(0.445, 0.89, 1.57)
        
        
        Vectors
        ~~~~~~~
        
        Jones Vector
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
           light = JonesVector(0.445, 0.89j)
        
        Stokes Vector
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
           light = StokesVector(1, 0.6, 0, 0.8)
        
        Matrices
        ~~~~~~~~
        
        Jonex Matrix
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
           matrix_values = numpy.matrix([[1, 0], [0, -1j]])
           light = JonesMatrix(matrix_values) *  JonesVector(1, -1j)
           light.vector
           matrix([[ 1.+0.j],
                   [-1.+0.j]])
        
        Mueller Matrix
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        .. code-block::
        
           matrix_values = numpy.matrix([[0.5, 0.5, 0, 0], [0.5, 0.5, 0, 0], [0 , 0, 0, 0], [0 , 0, 0, 0]])
           light = MuellerMatrix(matrix_values) *  StokesVector(1, 0, 0, 0)
           light.vector
           matrix([[0.5],
                   [0.5],
                   [0. ],
                   [0. ]])
        
        Coherency Matrix
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
