  2. Polarimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarimeter

    Hence by using the half shade device, one can measure the angle of rotation more accurately. Determination of specific rotation: In order to determine a specific rotation of an optically active substance (say, sugar), the polarimeter tube is first filled with pure water and the analyzer is adjusted for equal darkness (both the halves should be ...

  3. Waveplate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveplate

    Two common types of waveplates are the half-wave plate, which rotates the polarization direction of linearly polarized light, and the quarter-wave plate, which converts between different elliptical polarizations (such as the special case of converting from linearly polarized light to circularly polarized light and vice versa.) [1]

    The vector in the adjacent diagram might describe the oscillation of the electric field emitted by a single-mode laser (whose oscillation frequency would be typically 10 15 times faster). The field oscillates in the xy -plane, along the page, with the wave propagating in the z direction, perpendicular to the page.

    Fig. 1. HSL (a–d) and HSV (e–h). Above (a, e): cut-away 3D models of each. Below: two-dimensional plots showing two of a model's three parameters at once, holding the other constant: cylindrical shells (b, f) of constant saturation, in this case the outside surface of each cylinder; horizontal cross-sections (c, g) of constant HSL lightness or HSV value, in this case the slices halfway ...

  7. Optical vortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_vortex

    Diagram of different modes, four of which are optical vortices. Columns show the helical structures, phase-front and intensity of the beams. An optical vortex (also known as a photonic quantum vortex, screw dislocation or phase singularity) is a zero of an optical field; a point of zero intensity. The term is also used to describe a beam of ...

    Pierre Alphonse Laurent (18 July 1813 – 2 September 1854) was a French mathematician, engineer, and Military Officer best known for discovering the Laurent series, an expansion of a function into an infinite power series, generalizing the Taylor series expansion. He was born in Paris, France.
