The rotating linearly polarized light from a polarizing Mach-Zehnder interferometer: Production and applications

The production and control of a required polarization state are very important in optical measurements such as thin film surface characterization, ensuring continuity of data measurement and speedy acquisition. In this paper, a polarizing Mach-Zehnder interferometer is used to generate rotating line...
