Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Abstract

We present results from the development of precision laser polarizing devices based on the doubling and summation of optical frequencies in the nonlinear crystal KD*P. This crystal enables the generation and detection of linearly polarized light with a degree of polarization of 10−9. The characteristics of the polarizers and analyzers are compared with other well-known types of polarizers.
