Polarimeters

Meadowlark Optics has a longstanding reputation for precision polarization control and metrology. Our line of user-friendly Polarimeters provides this same high accuracy and reliability in an easy to use instrument, suitable for manufacturing and laboratory applications.

These Polarimeters are compact, state-of-the-art systems with convenient computer control that accurately measures Stokes Parameters 10 times per second that quantify the State of Polarization (SOP) and then graphically displays this state on the Poincaré Sphere, Polarization Ellipse, or running chart. It contains no spinning waveplates, motors, or other moving parts to wear or cause vibrations. Patented, proprietary algorithms provide high accuracy and calibration versatility. Two models offer calibrated polarization measurement over the wavelength ranges 450 nm to 1100 nm and 900 nm to 1700 nm. Meadowlark Optics Polarimeters are computer-controlled with USB interface for increased measurement rate and convenience.
