Abstract
It is shown that the bilinear representation of the Lorentz group is the natural language for the polarization of light. The combined effect of attenuation and phase-shift filters leads to a two-by-two representation of the Lorentz group, which can then be translated into the bilinear representation. The coherency matrix is a representation of the six-parameter Lorentz group.
