  • Patent number: 10161828
    Abstract: In a method for calibrating a polarization axis measuring device, both flat sides of a calibration element in a polarization axis measuring device are irradiated with polarized light, wherein the method involves aligning in each case at least one polarization direction of the light in a first and/or second rotational position with a principal axis in a predefined angular relationship with respect to a polarization axis of the calibration element. Determining the rotational position of an axis of the calibration element is carried out by determining an angle bisector between the first and second rotational positions of the polarization direction of the incident light. The method involves assigning a predefined angle value for the rotational position of the principal axis of the polarization direction for which the latter is in the predefined angular relationship with respect to the axis of the calibration element inserted as intended.
