Real-time polarization state measurement based on a birefringent crystal wedge

Real-time observation of liquid crystal molecular directions based on a snapshot polarimeter

“…But there has not been much discussion on the function of ion impurities in the EO effect. Very recently, we reported an alternative polarimetry based on the interference in a birefringent crystal wedge to perform the snapshot polarization measurement [19] . In this Letter, the technique is used to achieve LC molecular orientation with a setup that is significantly less complicated and has a comparable speed of 10 kHz to the latest reported Mueller matrix polarimetry [20] .…”

“…So the polarized principal axis angle φ can also be detected by a fringe location after a suitable calibration. Detailed descriptions on our measurement method, setup, calibration, and error analysis were reported very recently [19] . In general, phase delay R and polarized principal axis angle φ are linearly dependent on the fringe positions and can be detected directly by the fringe locations.…”

A Numerical Analysis of Double-Aperture Interferences

“…In this paper, we treat the problem of the diffraction and interferences by two thin apertures in far field region, we study the problem with new configuration using birefringent wedge [7,8,9,10] that is material characterized by slow and fast axis of…”
