    Abstract: Exemplary thin-film optical devices have first and second layer groups disposed as a layer stack on a substrate. The first layer group comprises a first PPN layer, a first LCP layer, and a first barrier layer all superposed. The second layer group is superposed relative to the first layer group, and includes a second PPN layer, a second LCP layer, and a second barrier layer all superposed. The first and second layer groups cooperate to polarize multiple wavelengths of an incident light flux in a broadband and/or wide-angle manner. Each of the layer groups has an alignment layer, a respective liquid-crystal polymer layer, and a barrier layer.

    Abstract: La présente invention propose un dispositif d'analyse polarimétrique à division de front d'onde précis et robuste, permettant de mesurer de manière quasi instantanée les états de polarisation d'un objet lumineux. Le dispositif d'analyse polarimétrique à division de front d'onde selon l'invention permet de produire, à partir d'un faisceau lumineux amont, une pluralité de faisceaux lumineux polarisés selon des états de polarisation tous différents. Ces faisceaux lumineux polarisés, qui ne se recouvrent pas et qui portent des informations complémentaires en polarisation, sont analysés simultanément par une pluralité de détecteurs qui mesurent l'intensité lumineuse de chacun d'eux. Des moyens de traitement effectuent un traitement numérique sur les valeurs obtenues d'intensité lumineuse pour déterminer l'état de polarisation du faisceau lumineux amont. Selon l'invention, les opérations effectuées par les moyens de traitement sur les valeurs des intensités lumineuses permettent de s'affranchir des variations d'intensité lumineuse des faisceaux lumineux divisés lors de la division du front d'onde du faisceau lumineux amont. Le dispositif d'analyse polarimétrique selon l'invention est ainsi robuste, et sa précision n'est pas dégradée par les conditions expérimentales. L'invention concerne enfin un procédé d'analyse polarimétrique à division de front d'onde pour la détermination de l'état de polarisation d'un faisceau lumineux amont.

    Abstract: A system and method for detection and measurement of circular birefringences in materials, such as optically active (chiral) liquids and materials that exhibit the Faraday effect. The method and apparatus permit the detection of optical activities via the difference in the directions of propagation the left- and the right- circularly polarized light (components). A beam of light is directed at an interface formed by the optically active medium and another medium such that a difference in the angles of refraction and/or reflection and/or diffraction between the left- and the right-circularly polarized components of the light beam can be detected. The difference in the propagation directions between the two circularly polarized light components is measured on a position sensitive detector and/or is detected as an intensity difference. The circular birefringence in isotropic liquids is a measure of their optical purity (enantiomeric excess) and hence the invention presents a method and apparatus to measure chirality. The invention is thus related to optical rotation (polarimetric) measurements, but has the advantage that it does not depend on path-length traversed through the sample.
