Effect of AirGap Polarizing Prism on Distribution of Light Intensity of Single-Mode Gaussian Beam
Based on interference effect at the airgap cementing layer of GlanTaylor prism and GlanFoucault prism, the effect of airgap polarizing prism on the transmitted light intensity distribution of single-mode Gaussian beam is analyzed. The result shows that, for certain wavelength and airgap thickness, the transmitted light intensity oscillates periodically with the change of incident angle, and for a certain incident angle, the transmitted light intensity oscillates periodically with the change of airgap thickness. The profile of transmitted Gaussian beam varies with the change of incident angle and airgap thickness. Considering the effect on light intensity and beam profile, GlanTaylor prism is more robust than GlanFoucault prism, indicating that the former has better general performance than the latter.
