LBTEK HAWK Series Polarimeter is an instrument for measuring the polarization state of monochromatic, collimated light. Based on the rotating waveplate principle, the instrument modulates the incident beam using a rotating waveplate, then demodulates the signal via Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to extract the Fourier coefficients. The Stokes vector is then computed from these coefficients, yielding the azimuth angle, ellipticity, and degree of polarization (DOP). The HAWK Series Polarimeter measures monochromatic, collimated light in any polarization state with high precision, dynamic range, sampling rate, and stability.

The HAWK Series Polarimeter uses the rotating waveplate method to measure the polarization state (SOP) of collimated incident light. The incident light must be monochromatic and collimated, and the beam terminates within the instrument. The instrument accepts collimated beams up to Ø3.0 mm in diameter. The typical DOP accuracy is ±1% (max ±2%), and the typical azimuth and ellipticity accuracy on the Poincaré sphere is ±0.1° (max ±0.25°). The front panel features an SM05 internal thread, an SM1 external thread, and M3 cage system mounting threads, and more. The base provides M4/M6 mounting interfaces for compatibility with various optical components.
