Technology for Polarization Measurement

Extinction Ratio

The extinction ratio (ER) of a polarizing element is the power transmitted when the measured polarizing element is aligned with the instrument polarizer (maximum transmission) divided by the transmission when the two elements are crossed (minimal transmission).
 


 

The optical configuration for ER measurement is shown below:
