The work of preparing Internati
19、onal Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with IS
20、O, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical co
21、mmittees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the
22、 possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

23、 ISO 24013:2006vIntroduction Normally it is desirable that the state of polarization be not influenced by the optical components used. For the generation or maintenance of specific states of polarization the influence of optical components on the beam polarization is crucial. For generating circular
24、ly polarized radiation from linearly polarized radiation /2 phase retarders are used. This International Standard describes methods to determine the relative phase retardation of optical components with respect to the x- and y-axes of the polarization and s- and p-polarization, respectively. This In
25、ternational Standard is necessary for optics manufacturers, suppliers and customers of such optics for the determination of the influence of phase retardation of optical components.

31、d state of polarization. After passing the component the state of polarization of the beam is determined by using an analyser. The phase retardation is then evaluated from the change of the state of polarization. There are two cases to distinguish: a) the expected phase retardation is near zero: in
32、this case a circularly polarized beam shall be used for the test; b) the expected phase retardation is near /2: in this case a linearly polarized beam shall be used for the test.

For measuring reflective samples an alignment laser in combination with a positional sensitive detector ensures a reproducible angle alignment of the sample under test. 6 Preparation of test sample and measuring arrangement 6.1 General Storage, cleanin
35、g and the preparation of the test samples are carried out in accordance with the manufacturers instructions for normal use. The environment of the testing place consists of dust-free filtered air with less than 60 % relative humidity. The residual dust is reduced in accordance with, for example, the
36、 clean-room ISO class 7 as defined in ISO 14644-1:1999. A linearly polarized laser shall be used as the radiation source. To keep errors as low as possible, the beam power stability should be as high as possible. Wavelength, angle of incidence and state of polarization of the laser radiation used fo
37、r the measurement shall correspond to the values specified by the manufacturer for the use of the test sample. If ranges are accepted for these three quantities, any combination of wavelength, angle of incidence and state of polarization may be chosen from these ranges. 6.2 Laser beam preparation Th
38、e accuracy of the measurement is strongly influenced by a clear definition of the state of polarization of the laser beam. Therefore it is necessary to prepare the polarization state of the probe beam (linearly or circularly) carefully. If the expected phase retardation is near /2, a linearly polari
39、zed beam shall be used. The quantity (1 ), where is the degree of linear polarization, shall be less than 103. This shall be verified by using the analyser without the sample in the beam path. NOTE 1 Such a state of polarization can be achieved by using a linearly polarized laser beam in combination
40、 with additional polarizing elements. If the expected phase retardation is near zero, a circularly polarized beam shall be used. The degree of linear polarization shall be less than 103. This shall be verified by using the analyser without the sample in the beam path. NOTE 2 Such a state of polariza
41、tion can be achieved by using a linearly polarized laser beam in combination with additional linearly polarizing elements and a /2 phase retarding element. All optical elements shall not increase the quantity (1 ) in the case of a linearly polarized beam and in the case of a circularly polarized bea
42、m, by more than 103. For this reason the use of folding mirrors in the test setup is discouraged and all other optical elements shall be used under normal incidence. 6.3 Sample adjustment and system calibration 6.3.1 Reflective samples The sample shall be mounted very accurately at the angle of inci
43、dence according to the manufacturers specification. The deviation from the intended angle of use shall be less than 2 mrad. For this purpose the component shall be mounted on a precision rotary stage. Back reflecting the laser beam into the laser cavity defines the normal incidence. EN ISO 24013:200
44、64 Additionally, in the case of a linearly polarized probe beam, the angle between the plane of vibration of the incoming laser beam and the plane of incidence shall be (/4 2) mrad. 6.3.2 Possible alignment procedure First, the laser beam shall be adjusted so that the beam propagation is parallel to
45、 the surface of the optical table. Second, the beam reflected from the sample shall be adjusted so that the propagation of the reflected beam is also parallel to the surface of the optical table for all angles of incidence. Third, in case of a linearly polarized incoming beam, the angle between the
46、plane of vibration and the plane of the optical table shall be adjusted to be /4. This can be achieved by adjusting the linear polarizer initially so that the plane of vibration is parallel to the optical table. This can be checked by using a Brewster window, the turning axis of which is perpendicul
47、ar to the optical table. If under these conditions the reflected minimum power is propagating parallel to the optical table, then turning of the linear polarizer by /4 finally provides the desired angle of the linearly polarized beam. When the alignment has been calibrated according to the procedure
48、 described above, the correct alignment of the additional samples can be simplified by using an additional laser with high pointing stability and a positional sensitive detector (see Figure 1). In this case the additional laser beam hits the component under near-normal incidence and the adjustment o
49、f the sample under test is performed so that the reflected laser beam hits the positional sensitive detector at the same position. 6.3.3 Transmissive samples The sample shall be mounted under the angle of incidence according to the manufacturers specification. The deviation from the intended angle of use shall be less than 2 mrad. 6.4 Detection system 6.4.1 General The detection system consists of a polarization analyser and a power detector. 6.4.2 Polarization analyser To determine the state of polarization
