Technical data

Determination of the plane of oscillation of a polarised la-ser beam - Malus' law

Article no: P1412401

Principle

If a laser is equipped with a so-called Brewster window, it emits linearly polarized light whose plane of oscillation can be determined with a polarization filter used as an analyzer.

Benefits

Curriculum-relevant DEMO Experiment in optics
Equivalence to the corresponding student experiment
Stable optical bench
Compact, simple construction
