Abstract
We present a summarized and simplified introduction to our wave description of geometric phase. We start by discussing the addition of cosine waves of different amplitudes and a phase between them, from which immediately arises the geometric phase in 1D. We then expand on the analysis to the 2D case using the orthogonal components of a polarized light wave. We then show a graphic visualization that facilitates the analysis of geometric phase and use it to quantify the geometric phase obtained by passing different states of polarization through a quarter wave plate.
