Re: The Joy of LCDs, Chapter 1: polarization!



Graeme,

Thanks for the info on the Spectrolino

... One of the drawbacks of diffraction grating based instruments I guess.

And maybe also of 45 degrees illumination / 0 degree measurement devices compared to 45 degree measurement and 0 degree illumination.


In principle they should be equivalent but in practice, the straight measuring path may be more sensitive to polarization. A 45 degrees circular measuring field would "mix" the incoming light and de-polarize it, but a low cost design would likely be more expensive to manufacture.

Please include your instrument model in your answer.

I think I mentioned on this list a while ago that
the Spectrolino also suffers from this, to an even worse
degree. One of the drawbacks of diffraction grating based
instruments I guess.


You'd just better hope there aren't wavelength dependent
polarization degree or angle effects too.

Graeme Gill.
