Abstract

We present a calibration approach for rotating polarizer-analyzer polarimeter dedicated to retardance measurements. The rotating polarizer-analyzer polarimeter is based on retrieving a partial Mueller matrix measurement of a transparent sample to be later associated with its phase retardation properties. Through the Mueller matrix approach, we developed a calibration procedure considering the initial orientation of the two linear polarizers used, and we present experimental results showing the feasibility of our calibration approach.
