Using polarimeter and Stokes parameters for measuring linear birefringence and diattenuation properties of optical samples
A technique is proposed for measuring the linear birefringence and linear diattenuation of an optical sample using a polarimeter. In the proposed approach, the principal axis angle (α), phase retardance (β), diattenuation axis angle (θd), and diattenuation (D) are derived using an analytical mod...
