Abstract
Observing light propagation plays an important role in clarifying ultrafast phenomena occurring on femtosecond to picosecond time scales. In particular, observing the ultrafast behavior of polarized light is useful for various fields. We have developed a technique based on Polarization Light-in-Flight Holography, which can record light propagation as a motion picture that can provide information about the polarization direction. Here we demonstrate motion-picture recording of a phenomenon, which is characteristic of polarized light, by using the proposed technique. As a phenomenon, we adopted the behavior of a light pulse incident at Brewster's angle. We succeeded in recording the light reflection of specific polarized light by the proposed optical setup. The method of recording the motion-picture, reconstruction procedure, and the quantitative evaluation of the results are demonstrated.
