The advantages of rapid spectral scanning have been combined with -the inherent accuracy of a compensating ellipsometer operated in the polarizer-compensator-sample-analyzer configuration. Wavelength is varied over the visible-UV ( 3 7 0 7 2 0 nm) at a maximum rate of 114 nm/s by rotating a continuously-variable interference filter. A three-reflection Fresnel rhomb serves as the achromatic quar...

متن کاملFresnel Rhombs as Achromatic Phase Shifters for Infrared Nulling Interferometry: First experimental results
One of the most critical units of nulling interferometers is the Achromatic Phase Shifter. The concept we propose here is based on optimized Fresnel rhombs, using the total internal reflection phenomenon, modulated or not. The total internal reflection induces a phase shift between the polarization components of the incident light. We present the principles, the current status of the prototype ...
متن کاملDetermination of the helicity of oriented photofragments.
Equations to enable determination of the helicity (angular momentum orientation) of photofragments resulting from single-photon dissociation of an isotropic sample of molecules are presented. The symmetry of the photofragment distribution is illustrated by three-dimensional vector plots of the expectation values of projections of the fragment total angular momentum. Equations describing circula...
