Principle
What is RE-200?
RE-200 is available to measure phase difference (retardation) and principal axis azimuthwith high speed and high accuracy due to combine a polarization measurement module composed of a photonic crystal element (polarization element) and a CCD camera with transmissive polarization optics. Since the polarization intensity pattern is acquired with one shot of the CCD camera, there is no mechanism for rotating the polarizer, and the whole system has a compact configuration, so stable performance can be maintained even for a long time continuous measurement.
Ellipticity(ε)and Azimuth(γ) are calculated by Fitting and Fourier transform algorithm.
