Abstract

The effect of analyzer imperfections on the formulas for the ellipticity and the azimuth of polarized light, when a non-ideal compensator and an imperfect analyzer are used for its analysis, has been investigated. It is shown that the imperfections of the analyzer do not influence the measured values of the ellipticity and the azimuth to the first order if an ideal or a nearly ideal compensator is used.
