Example Oblique Transmission through Parallel Plate Flow

1 Example Oblique Transmission through Parallel Plate Flow 

For a couette flow, the light transmission axis is often directed along the vorticity axis so that G = 0 and = n/2. In this case, An = An12 and a = %. Another frequently used geometry is the parallel plate cell, where the light propagates along 

Oblique incidence of light through a shear flow. The axes defining the components n j and n2 lie in the (JC, y) plane.
