[Spectral analysis method for precisely measuring specific rotation of quartz].

A spectral analysis method for precisely measuring specific rotation of quartz is proposed. The measuring principle is analyzed by using the method of optical matrix. The result indicates that the specific rotation of quartz can be exactly calculated by measuring the transmittance curve of a sample quartz plate sandwiched between two paralleled polarizing prisms, and the correctness of the method is validated by a designed experiment using a spectrophotometer.

[Precision measurement of the birefringence of quartz crystal at 1 310 nm based on the spectroscopic ellipsometer].

In order to get the precision measurement of birefringence of quartz crystal at the communication wavelength 1310nm, based on the principle of precision measurement of phase difference between P and S polarized lights of spectroscopic ellipsometer, a method for precision measurement of birefringence of crystal was designed through the analysis of the Jones matrix under the transmission mode, and the precision measurement of birefringence of quartz crystal at 1 310 nm at room temperature (22 degrees C) was made, the measuring results and error analysis show that the precision reached 10(-6) level, this is the most precise birefringence parameter available, and it is of important significance for the improvement of designing precision of phase retardation devices of quartz.
