Description

Simple, idelized, component that turns the polarization exactly π/2 around the specified vector
vector (rx,ry,rx).
The geometry of the component is realized as a box, where the the spin is rotated at the z-midpoint.

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
