Request InfoFor Polarimeter CalibrationMeadowlark Optics Inc.FREDERICK, Colo., June 24 -- Meadowlark Optics' eigen state generator set is an accessory that allows the LCPM-3000 polarimeter to achieve the greatest accuracy for the user's optical setup. The generator set provides the six polarization states necessary to calibrate the polarimeter: linear polarized light at angles of 0 degrees, 90 degrees, +45 degrees and -45 degrees, as well as circular right-handed and circular left-handed polarized light. These states are created by using a precision dichroic linear polarizer in a black housing and a precision quarter wave plate in a blue housing.
