摘要
A system which measures the Stokes parameters of light automatically over a wide range of wavelengths is described.The method requires two piezooptic modulators, three lock-in amplifiers, and an on-line minicomputer for data processing.The absence of a static retardation plate provides an unprecedented insensitivity to beam wandering.Typical performance parameters such as response time, accuracy, and detectivity as a function of the incident polarization are given.© 1979 Optical Society of America.
