Polarization properties interferometer

Bruker IFS 114 are marked in Fig. 50. For the sample compartment (A 3), the reflection attachment (A 3a) is shown in Fig. 50 which can be inserted at one of the two foci. Characteristic and outstanding is the design of the Michelson interferometer in this instrument (A 2 in Fig. 50). The radiation emitted by the source is not collimated at first but focussed on the beam-splitter. The angle of incidence on the beam-splitter is rather small (nearly normal incidence). This is advant-tageous with respect to the polarization properties of the beam-splitter. We recall from Section 4.1 and Fig. 15 that the efficiency (4 RT) of thin film beamsplitters depends on its thickness, on its refractive index, on the wave number of the radiation, and, last but not least, on the polarization of the light. The latter dependence is rather drastic for angles of incidence near 45° which are close to... 

Detailed investigation on the optical characteristics, including the electro-optic phase modulation, electric hysteresis property, and thermo-optic coefficient, of transparent PMN-PT electro-optic ceramics have been conducted [229]. A polarization independent PMNT electro-optic switch by using s -shifted fiber Sagnac interferometer stmcture was constracted and analyzed experimentally. Some switch performances, including thermal characteristic and different switching frequency response, were also realized.
