Fig. 2From: Tolerance analysis of non-depolarizing double-pass polarimetryThe measurement results of and stochastic noise in the polarization properties of the 1/6-wave plate in a double-pass setup. a Measurement results of the transmittance amplitude tX,tY, and the retardance ϕ as a function of the azimuthal angles from the −90∘ to 90∘ range. The red line is the average measurement value over all measured azimuthal angles. The true transmittance amplitudes are TX=0.98,TY=0.97, and the true retardance is Φ=60∘. b The stochastic noise for 1000 trials. For each trial the stochastic noise is defined as the average measurement (red line) minus the true value of each polarization propertyBack to article page
