    Abstract: A method for irradiating onto a target optical system plural linearly polarized rays having different polarization directions, and for measuring a polarization characteristic of the target optical system including a birefringence amount R and a fast axis Φ includes the steps of irradiating linearly polarized ray having a polarization direction θ onto the target optical system and obtaining a centroid amount P of the ray that has transmitted through the target optical system, and obtaining the birefringence amount R and the fast axis Φ from P=-R•cos(2θ-Φ) or P=R•cos(2θ-Φ).

    Abstract: A 6-axis laser measurement system (300) includes a novel 5-D measurement apparatus and precision laser roll detector system (100). The 5-D system (105) measures pitch, yaw, X, Y, Z displacements with a single setup of a laser head (102) and detection housing (302). The laser roll detector (100) uses a polarizing prism (104) such as a Glan-Thompson prism, and at least two photodetectors (D1, D2, D3, D4). A linearly polarized laser beam enters the prism (104), and the beam is split into two polarized components, the intensities of which vary with roll orientation of the detector (105) relative to the polarized laser beam. The outputs of the two detectors (D1, D2) are connected to the positive and negative inputs, respectively, of a high gain differential amplifier (108) which provides roll output.

    Abstract: The present invention provides the capability of ascertaining, through a quick and simple measurement, locations on a structure that may have experienced damage that could result in reduced structure lifetime, strength, or reliability. The sensing element is a connected section of polarization maintaining ('PM') optical fiber, where a length of PM fiber represents a fully distributed sensor array. Stress-induced changes to the sensor are measured through white-light Polarimetric interferometry. The output of the measurement is a data array representing the stress concentration magnitude at an array of locations along the length of the sensor. In an application, the knowledge of the optical fiber position on the structure, coupled with the measurement of stress locations along the fiber length, allows the user to determine locations on the structure with large stress concentrations. These locations may signify structural damage.

    Abstract: An improved ellipsometry method and a self-correcting simultaneous multiple angle/multiple wavelength return path ellipsometer (20) are disclosed which allow for simultaneous measurement at multiple angles of incidence in a manner which permits separation of instrument error from the measured properties. Non-sample optical system ellipsometric effects of the ellipsometer are measured and the measured changes in polarization state are corrected to eliminate errors introduced thereby. The disclosed embodiment is self-correcting by way of a convex reflector (6) which can be inserted into and removed from the optical path of the beam of polarized light between a focusing optic (5) and the sample optical system (7) under study. The convex reflector (6) when inserted into the optical path causes the light rays of the beam of polarized light in each of the plurality of angles of incidence to retrace its path through the focusing optic (5) for detection by a detector array (10) without undergoing reflection and re-reflection as during a sample measurement configuration of the ellipsometer (20) is removed from the optical path.
