Problems solved by technology

Due to the need to rotate the measured quarter-wave plate and polarizer multiple times, this device cannot achieve real-time measurement of the fast axis orientation. Its measurement accuracy is affected by light intensity fluctuations and requires high stability of the light source, requiring precise rotation. The mechanism makes the structure of the device complex

Abstract

The invention relates to a real time measuring device and a method thereof for the orientation of a fast axis of a quarter wave plate. The device consists of a collimated light source, a polarizer, a standard quarter wave plate, a diffraction light splitting element, a focusing lens, a polaroid analyzer array, a photodetector array, an amplifying circuit and a signal processing system. The measuring method includes as follows: the parallel light beams exited by the collimated light source after passing through the polarizer and the standard quarter wave plate form a circularly polarized light; the circularly polarized light after passing through the quarter wave plate to be detected is split by the diffraction light splitting element; a plurality of sub-light beams with equal intensity are focused on the polaroid analyzer array by the focusing lens to respectively generate polarization interference for forming interference light intensities with a certain displacement in turn which are received by the photodetector array; a telecommunication signal outputted by the photodetector array after passing through the amplifying circuit is processed by the signal processing system, thus being capable of obtaining the orientation angle of the fast axis of the quarter wave plate to be detected in real time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of polarization measurement, in particular to a device and method for real-time measurement of the fast axis orientation of a quarter-wave plate. Background technique [0002] Quarter-wave plate is a commonly used polarizing optical element, which is widely used in modern optical measurement technology and polarized light application technology and other fields. The fast-axis orientation is one of the important optical parameters of the quarter-wave plate. Usually, the fast-axis orientation of the quarter-wave plate is not marked, and it is necessary to accurately measure the quarter-wave plate’s The orientation of the fast axis and make adjustments based on this. [0003] The prior art [1] (refer to Wang Wei, Li Guohua, Wu Fuquan, etc. A new method for measuring wave plate retardation and fast axis orientation. China Laser, Vol.30, 1121-1123, 2003) describes a method that can measure four One-third wave plate fast ...
