M. Elsherif et al., SIMPLE DEPOLARIZERS FOR SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS OF ANISOTROPIC SAMPLES, Optics and Laser Technology, 28(8), 1996, pp. 561-563
Spectrophotometric measurements on optically anisotropic samples are c
onsiderably affected by the partial polarization of light in the instr
ument. It is shown that by depolarizing the incident beam, more realis
tic results are obtained even for strong directional anisotropic mater
ials. Two types of depolarizers were investigated. Copyright (C) 1996
