Today I worked on making more concise measurements of polarized light and power. This also entailed fitting the data with Excel and the Law of Malus
I also played with the wave plates in order to see what Elliptically and circularly polarized light looks like.
I began to investigate the polarimeter and its manual in order to quantify polarization even more
Things to investigate.
- Stokes Values - S1, S2, S3
- Degree of Polarization - DP
- Degree of Linear Polarization - DLP
- Degree of Circular Polarization - DCP
