Abstract

1 min read

A new simple and precise method for the alignment of polarizing prisms in optical polarization systems is presented. The Poincaré sphere representation is used to explain the alignment procedure. The method considers the case of an imperfect polarizer and is applicable to both transmission and reflection polarization systems.
