Return the Jones matrix for a linear wave plate with a phase
delay given in wavelength units and long axis rotation of 0 degrees.
- - p is the phase delay in wavelength units, ranging from
0 to 1; if not given or set to [] the default value 0 is used.
Argument p can be passed as a scalar or as a matrix or as a
cell array. In the two latter cases, a cell array JM of
Jones matrices of the same size is returned.
