Abstract
With the wide application of laser technology in laser processing and photoelectric detection, the measurement and display of the laser beam polarization has become an extremely important prerequisite. In this paper, we realize the laser polarization measurement tool based on the virtual instrument LabVIEW software platform. The set-up is designated to measure the Stokes parameters for an arbitrarily polarized beam, using the rotating waveplate method provided by the stepper motor, drive circuit, photodetector, and computer processing of the digitized electrical signal in the PCI expansion card. The Poincare sphere is used for the interpretation of the state of polarization (SOP) and degree of polarization (DOP). The working wavelength range is declared to be 400 – 1100 nm, the accuracy of DOP, azimuth measurement, and ellipticity are ±2%, 0.4°, and 0.4°, respectively.
