High accuracy polarimetry and its application  (download full version)

Y.Shopa

The principles of high accuracy polarimetry are described. The methods of simultaneous measurements of birefringence and optical activity in anisotropic directions of crystals are considered. The measurement technique and experimental results of first polarization methods on the base of the azimuthal oscillations and high accuracy null polarimetry, HAUP, tilter system are analyzed. The attention is paid to a method that is similar to HAUP, which was designed with participation of the author and is used for studying of a number of crystals.

Key words: optical activity, birefringence, polarimetry, HAUP
