Polarized observation belongs to an effective detection method, especially in the field of atmospheric microphysical properties analysis [1,2], new imaging system [], navigation model and other fields [,,,, ].In order to meet the observation requirement in related fields, various polarization detection instruments with different mechanisms have been designed.

Measuring instrument. A measuring instrument is a device to measure a physical quantity. In the physical sciences, quality assurance, and engineering, measurement is the activity of obtaining and comparing physical quantities of real-world objects and events. Established standard objects and events are used as units, and the process of ...

Fluorescence polarization measurements provide information on molecular orientation and mobility and processes that modulate them, including receptor–ligand interactions, protein–DNA interactions, proteolysis, membrane fluidity and muscle contraction (Figure 1).Because polarization is a general property of fluorescent molecules (with certain exceptions such as lanthanide chelates ...

Determining the polarization scattering properties of sub micron size particles through interactions with transmitted visible wavelengths requires the capability to detect polarization effects on the order of a few percent. Such small changes in polarization can easily be overwhelmed by the intrinsic polarization properties of the instrument.

When away from the design wavelength, the change in focus efficiency and background noise becomes large, and the accuracy of the polarization detection becomes low. The RMSE of EEORSP is shown in Fig. 8. We use 0.01 as the evaluation standard, and the proposed polarimeter can maintain a high accuracy of polarization detection among 4.8–5. 4 μ m.

Fluorescence polarization measurements are made using an optical system that includes polarizing filters in the light path. Samples in the microplate are excited using polarized light, and depending on the mobility of the fluorescent molecules found in the wells, the light emitted will either be polarized or not.

We present a theoretical overview and experimental demonstration of a continuous-wave, cavity-enhanced optical absorption spectrometry method to detect molecular gas. This technique utilizes the two non-degenerate polarization modes of a birefringent cavity to obtain a zero background readout of the intra-cavity absorption. We use a double-pass equilateral triangle optical cavity design with ...

polarization multiplexed coherent detection system. The POD-201 or the PSGA-101 can be used for the test. During the test, the polarization channels are sequentially turned "off" and the SOP of the "on" channel is measured. The relative polarization angle between the two SOP points is obtained through the angle measurement function of the software.

Until recently, this detection would have required the instrument to be 20 cm from the sample for several minutes. But the efforts of the team over the last 4 years have advanced the technology dramatically, enabling circular polarization measurements to be taken from a helicopter moving at 70 kph, 2 km away from the target.

Without the help of any instrument you will be able to tell not only if the light you look at is strongly polarized or not, but also if it is linearly polarized or circularly polarized and, moreover, in which direction it vibrates or rotates. ... bees only detect polarization in the ultraviolet, although they can also see the green and blue ...

Humans have some marginal sensitivity to polarized light as discovered by Haidinger in 1846 () but it was not until the late 1940's that researchers realized that many animals can "see" and use the polarization of light.This extra dimension of reality remains mostly invisible to us without the aid of instruments but it is of vital importance to a host of animals.
