Circular Polarization of Vacuum Ultraviolet Light by Piezobirefringence

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An instrument has been constructed that can produce any degree of elliptical polarization from linear to circular in the vacuum uv range 1050 Å to 1450 Å using a piezobirefringent retarder of LiF. The apparatus is conveniently described by the Mueller matrices. One of the piezobirefringence constants, p11 − p12, ranged from 4.0–10.0 × 10−13 cm2/dyn for various samples of LiF, and the index of refraction at 1216 Å was 1.79 ± 0.14.
