  • Patent number: 5627645
    Abstract: A compensation polarizing plate which is superior in polarization characteristic to a polarizing filter layer of a composite layer sample is arranged on the polarization filter layer side of the composite layer sample whose polarizing filter layer has an insufficient degree of polarization, and polarization transmission axes of the polarizing filter layer and the compensation polarizing plate are kept in parallel with each other to compensate the polarization characteristics of the polarization filter layer. Measurement for obtaining the retardation value and the optical principal axis direction of the sample is carried out in the state of the compensated sample.

  • Patent number: 5504581
    Abstract: A phase plate is superposed on a sample, and this phase plate is so adjusted that the phase difference of the total retardation of the sample and the phase plate is integral times 2.pi. with respect to a measuring beam of a first wavelength, so that retardation can be correctly measured even if an order is increased. In this state, a measuring beam of a second wavelength which is approximate to the first wavelength is employed and two polarizing plates maintaining polarizing directions in parallel nicol relation are singularly rotated with respect to the sample which is arranged therebetween. The ratio Im/Io between maximum value Io and minimum value Im of currently transmitted light intensity is applied to a previously prepared relation between the order n of retardation and this ratio Im/Io to derive the order of retardation of the sample, to thereafter obtain correct retardation.

  • Patent number: 5450200
    Abstract: A part for projecting a measuring light beam onto a sample and a light receiving part are arranged on the same side of a sample surface so that the measuring light beam is concentric with the light receiving part, the measuring light beam which is converted to a linearly polarized light beam through a polarizing element is projected to the sample so that the measuring light beam outgoing from the sample to the projecting side is received and detected through the same polarizing element. A plurality of sets of polarizing elements and light receiving parts are set so that the polarizing elements have different polarization directions, to calculate retardation from transmitted light intensity levels as obtained.

  • Patent number: 5406371
    Abstract: In order to efficiently obtain data for calculating retardation values at a plurality of wavelengths, a sample having birefringence is placed between a polarizer and an analyzer, which are maintained in a parallel nicol relation to each other and rotated about an optical axis of measuring light. White measuring light is applied through the polarizer so that the light being passed through the sample and transmitted through the analyzer is received by a polychromator. A one-dimensional optical sensor is arranged on an outgoing imaging surface of the polychromator, to simultaneously detect transmitted light intensity values of a plurality of wavelengths. Since transmitted light intensity values of a plurality of wavelengths are obtained every polarization rotation angle of the polarizer and the analyzer, it is possible to obtain dispersion of retardation values with respect to wavelengths and the like by processing the data.

  • Patent number: 4973163
    Abstract: The combination of a polarizer and an analyzer, and a sample interposed therebetween are rotated relative to each other to determine the relationship between the angle of rotation and the intensity of light transmitted through the arrangement. The birefringence of the sample is obtained from the retardation values calculated from the result of the determination. When the determination is made for two kinds of light with different wavelengths close to each other, the retardation can be determined straightforwardly. When at least three kinds of light with different wavelengths are used for the determination, different retardation values are obtained for the respective wavelengths for a highly accurate analysis.

  • Patent number: 4849623
    Abstract: A system and method for determining the anisotropy of a sample of a light transmitting sheet is disclosed. The surface of the sample is irradiated with a polarized light which is directed through the sample to an analyzer element. The polarizing plane of the analyzer is matched to, or maintained in a predetermined angular relation to, the polarizing plane of the polarized light. The sample is rotated relative to the analyzer element so that the optical anisotropy can be determined from the relationship between the rotation angle and the output of measured light.
