Variable waveplate-based polarimeter for polarimetric metrology

Polarimetry is an optical technique currently used in many research fields as biomedicine, polarimetric metrology or material characterization, where the knowledge of the state of polarization of light beams and the polarizing properties of polarizing samples is required. As a consequence, in such a...
