The Making Of Models To Illustrate The Principle Of Plane Polarized Light And The Phenomenon Of Double Refraction., Milton A. Sizer

Bachelors’ Theses

When the author took a course in Optics, and came into contact for the first time with the subject of polarized light and double refraction, he found it exceedingly difficult to visualize the various phenomena which took place. The advantage could easily be seen, of mechanical models made to illustrate the passage of light through glass and other crystals. The object of this thesis is to describe the making of mechanical models which are to be used in teaching the subject of polarization of light.

Studies In The Magnetic Rotation Of The Plane Of Polarized Light, Charles J. Glass

Bachelors’ Theses

As an introduction to the phenomenon of magnetic rotation it is well to offer a brief explanation of the phenomenon of optical activity. According to the ’’wave theory” of light the rays from any ordinary light vibrate in every conceivable plane. If the light is reflected from a glass surface or passed through a Nicol prism it undergoes a change. If an attempt is made to pass the beam through a second Nicol prism is found that the optical axes of the two prisms must be parallel to one another or the beam will not penetrate the second one.

Electric Double-Refraction In Carbon Disulphide At Low Potentials, Gustaf W. Elmen

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

When light polarized at an angle of forty-five degrees to the lines of force is passed through certain dielectrics, between two parallel electrodes, they become double-refracting. The difference of phase, delta, between the two components of light at right angles and parallel to the lines of force, as represented by Kerr and verified by later investigators, is

δ = ± BP²l/a²

where B is the electro-optic constant, depending on, the dielectric, I the length, and a the distance between the plate' electrodes in centimeters, and P the difference of potential between the electrodes in C.G.S. units.
