Abstract
A review of those fundamental facts and relations concerning polarized light with which the reader should be familiar is given. The devices which serve as the polarization elements of all instruments are then described, followed by a description of half-shade azimuth polarimeters, elliptic polarimeters, Tool's general polarimeter, and a Universal polarimeter designed at the Bureau of Standards. The practical applications of polarimeters to saccharimetry, photometry, colorimetry, pyrometry, determination of the optical constants of absorbing media, mechanical stress analysis and testing of the optical homogeneity of glass are all briefly described.
