The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of angle of incidence and off-axis angle
on the cross-polarization of a Gaussian beam. The phenomenon of cross-polarization pertains to the
alteration in the polarization of electromagnetic waves resulting from reflection, refraction, or scattering
during propagation. In optical systems, the suppression of cross-polarization is a crucial aspect that must
be addressed to ensure the quality and performance of the signal. The phenomenon of cross-polarization
has a significant impact on telecommunication, radar, and optical imaging. It can lead to signal loss and
higher error rates, which in turn affects system reliability and data accuracy. This research will provide
theoretical support to help devices maintain the ability to make accurate measurements to maintain the
desired polarization state, thereby improving the operational reliability of optical systems and ensuring
high-quality signal transmission and accurate imaging in modern optical systems.
