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

media:Polarizationexp2.xlsx

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
