Key Features

  • Compact
  • No moving parts
  • Broad wavelength range
  • Versatile Configuration
  • User-Friendly Operation
  • High Sensitivity
The polarimeter comes pre-calibrated with up to three wavelengths. The optional Eigenstate Calibration Set makes additional or recalibrations easy. Due to changes in environmental conditions and laboratory configurations, recalibration may be necessary. The PolarVIEW software gives step-by-step instructions in pictorial format. Basic knowledge of polarization optics isn’t necessary when using the Eigenstate Set.

Eigenstate Calibration Set

The Eigenstate Calibration Set produces six polarization eigenstates: linear polarized light at angles of 0, 90, +45, -45 degrees as well as circular right-handed and circular left-handed polarized light. These states are created by using a precision dichroic linear polarizer and a precision superachromatic quarter waveplate. The housings are CNC machined so that the accuracy of the angles is better than 1 arc minute. Pins on the housings mate to a v-groove and a flat groove in a quasi-kinematic fashion, while magnets provide holding force. This scheme facilitates precise, simple and fast indexing of the polarization eigenstates. Large arrows on the housing indicate the transmission axis of the polarizer and the fast axis of the waveplate for ease of use.
