The construction and evaluation of an efficient and convenient reflection type polarizer, using three gold mirrors, which is useful in the 500-5000-A wavelength region is described. The polarizer is evaluated both by direct measurement of its polarization and by calculation from the measured optical constants of gold. The variation in optical properties and hence polarization is investigated for gold mirrors prepared by different workers. With this instrument it is possible, over a wide wavelength region, to obtain 95% polarization with approximately 15% transmission of the polarized beam.
本文描述了一种使用三块金镜构建的高效便捷反射型偏振器的构建与评估,该偏振器在500 - 5000埃波长区域内有用。通过直接测量其偏振度以及根据测得的金的光学常数进行计算来评估该偏振器。研究了不同人员制备的金镜的光学性质变化以及由此导致的偏振变化。使用该仪器,在很宽的波长区域内,有可能以约15%的偏振光束透过率获得95%的偏振度。
