Abstract
The Pancharatnam-Berry phase is a geometrical phase associated with the polarization of light. When the polarization of a beam is made to traverse a closed loop on the Poincare sphere, the final state differs from the initial state by a phase factor equal to half the area encompassed by the loop on the sphere.
