Development of an angle sensor using optical polarizer

This paper presents an effective technique to measure angle of rotation using optical polarizer. In this case combination of single wavelength partially polarised laser beam and a linear polarizer are used for the rotational angle measurement. The power of the transmitted partially polarized light w...
