This paper describes the construction of a circular polariscope. Generally, a circular polariscope contains four optical elements and a light source. The first element following the light source is called the linear polarizer. It converts the ordinary light into plane-polarized light. The second element is a quarter wave plate which converts the plane-polarized light into circularly polarized light. Following the quarter wave plate, a specimen made of transparent photoelastic material is located in a loading device. The second quarter wave plate is set and the last element is the analyzer. These polarizing elements, two quarter wave plates and two linear polarizing filters, were purchased from the USA. Frames and other structures for holding polarizing filters were machined and assembled to be rotated. Light box, which includes four incandescent lamps and two sodium-vapor lamps, was made. In order to proof the function of the newly built polariscope, Tardy compensation test was applied to a rectangular shaped specimen made of poly-carbonate material (PSM 1). The error of the fringe constant, which was measured by the newly built polariscope, was within 4.4 percent compared to the standard value of this material. It is possible to make a good quality of polariscope if accurate polarizing filters will be used.

In this paper, we investigate the optical and structural properties of linear and circular polarization-discriminatory inverters. Circular polarization-discriminatory handedness inverter is realized as a combination of half-wave plate and Bragg reflector and that of linear polarization in verter is realized as a combination of quarter-wave plate, Bragg reflector and quarter-wave plate.

Speckle interferometry with phase-shifting method has been applied to measurement of micro-scale displacement through optical signal processing. Four-step phase-shifting method by PZT is used to measure out-of-plane displacement in spot-welded cantilever and results of optical experiments are comparable to those of FEM. Phase-shifting method using Fourier transform by PZT is applied to measurement of in-plane displacement on rectangular steel plate with a circular hole. The results of optical experiment agree well with theoretical calculation. New phase-shifting method in speckle interferometry has been implemented with a quarter wave plate. In-plane displacement of specimen is measured by the new phase-shifting method. Results of optical experiment show that the quarter wave plate can be used for phase-shifting method that is cheap and easy to use in speckle interferometry.

A polarimetric experimental method was developed to determine the Jones matrix elements of transparent optical materials without sign ambiguity. A set of polarization dependent transmittance data of the samples was measured with polarizer - sample - analyzer system and another set of data was measured with polarizer - sample - quarter-wave plate - analyzer. Two data sets were compared and mathematically analyzed to obtain the correct signs of the elements of the matrix. The Jones matrix elements of a quarter-wave plate were determined to check the validity of the method. The experimentally obtained matrix elements of the quarter-wave plate were consistent with the theoretical expectations. The same method was applied to obtain the Jones matrix elements of a twisted nematic liquid crystal panel.

파장 514.5 nm에서 8.4 um 두께의 ECB(Electically Controlled Birefringenence) 액정 셀과 1/4 파장판을 이용하여 간단하게 360도 이상으로 선형편광의 방향을 광손실없이 자유롭게 바꿀 수 있는 선형편광 회전기를 제안하고 이를 구현하였다. 이 선형편광 회전기의 편광도는 0.964이며, 1주일간의 시간적 변화도 ${\pm}1$도 정도로 시간적 안정성이 매우 뛰어남을 확인하였다. 이 선형편광기의 전압 대회전각의 비선형성 문제는 사용할 전압범위를 바꾸거나 이 선형편광 회전기의 회전각에 대한 피팅곡선을 사용하면 쉽게 해결할 수 있다.

서로 다른 위상지연각을 가지는 두 개의 위상판을 중첩하여 4분파장 위상지연자로 구동시키기 위한 필요조건을 찾고 선편광자와 이들 위상판들의 방위각이 만족해야할 관계식들을 위상지연각들의 함수로 해석적으로 유도하였다. 해석적인 방법으로 구한 각도 관계식들과 Poincare 구상에서의 자취분석을 통해 구한 각도 관계식들이 동일함을 확인하였고 동일한 두 개의 위상판을 사용할 경우 몇가지 응용예를 제시하였다.

z-축 방향으로 진행하는 Ti:LiNbO$_3$, 광도파로와 전기광학효과를 이용하여 집적광학형 편광조절기를 구현하였다. 소자는 λ/4-λ/2-λ/4 wave-plate들로 구성되었으며, 각 wave-plate에 인가되는 전압들에 따라 나타나는 위상변화량과 이에 대응되는 편광모드 변환을 정량적으로 검토하고, 폴래리미터 (polarimeter)와 Poincare 구 좌표계를 이용하여 편광 조절기의 동작 상태를 체계적으로 측정하였다. 제작된 편광조절기는 각 wave-plate들의 선택과 인가전압에 따라 어떠한 입력 편광 상태도 특정한 출력 편광상태로 변화시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.
