Modulation of Polarization Direction State of Polarization(SOP) Liquid Crystal Variable Retarder(LCVR) Stokes Vectors

Abstract

Polarization state generator is an indispensable part of polarization imaging system, produces the state of polarization for the calibration or test . Based on the analysis of the existing scheme, a novel Polarization State Generator is developed , which is constituted of a linear polarizer P and two liquid crystal phase variable retarders, denoted as LCVR1 and LCVR2. The transmission axes of P and LCVR2 are oriented horizontally, while the fast axes of LCVR2 is oriented. the state of polarization of the incident light is modulated through adjusting the control voltage of LCVRS. the experimental results show that the system not only is feasible ,but also has high sensibility. A good agreement is observed between theoretical and experimental results.
