Semi-classical theory and experimental research for polarization flipping in a single frequency laser with feedback effect

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/21/9/090301

Abstract In this paper, we propose a semi-classical theory to successfully explain the polarization flipping in a single frequency laser. An experimental setup is built to verify this theory. The observed experimental phenomena are consistent with the theoretical analysis. We perform phase retardation measurements of birefringent components using this experimental system. The results show that the measurement repeatability is 0.12° and the measurement accuracy is 0.22°.

Keywords: semi-classical theory interference birefringence
