[20p-C303-2] Two-dimensional birefringence profiler with a wide observation field
using polarization diffractive gratings
Keywords:Birefringence
The optical phenomenon called birefringence is an unfamiliar word, but in fact it is closely related to our daily life. We have been developing "birefringence profiler" which images the two-dimensional birefringence distribution utilizing the principle of birefringence-light intensity conversion owing to certain diffraction gratings exhibiting special polarization dependences. Among these, we found that the optical system with a wider field of view could be realized.
