Abstract
A linearly polarised plane wave traversing an optically transparent system rarely maintains its linear polarisation. In this work we discuss two aspects of this phenomenon. First, we consider the effect of a high aperture lens on polarisation. This case is of utmost importance in confocal and near field microscopy and, in general, focusing. Second, the role of the polarisation in hologram reconstruction is discussed.
