Function File: JM = jones_unity()
Function File: JA = jones_unity([m, n, ...])
Function File: JA = jones_unity(C)

Return unity Jones matrices, representing a non-polarizing optical element.

  • - [m, n, ...] defines the size of the cell array JA and therefore the number of unity matrices returned.
  • - C is a cell array defining the size of the returned cell array JA, size(JA)==size(C). The content of C is of not evaluated in this case.
