Eigen State Generator

This set allows for the precise generation of the 6 polarization states: horizontal, vertical, +45°, -45°, and right- and left-handed circular polarized light. The set consists of a linear polarizer and a quarter waveplate carefully mounted and aligned in precision-matched housings.

Originally designed as an accessory for quickly and accurately calibrating the Meadowlark Liquid Crystal Polarimeter, the Eigen State Generator also is useful in any situation that demands precise and repeatable alignment of a polarization state to a mounting surface.

Liquid Crystal Polarimeters
The Eigen State Generator: useful for precise and repeatable alignment of a polarization state to a mounting surface.
Eigen State 1205
Azimuthal Alignment of Polarization Optics

The 6 eigenstates generated by the ESG completely span the polarization space as shown in this diagram of the Poincare sphere.

Six eigenstates are created by moving the two optical elements into the precise positions using the built-in kinematic mount. The black unit shown is a linear polarizer and the blue unit is a quarter wave plate fixed at 45 degrees..
