Description
Summary:Stokes polarimeters and scanning slit optical beam profilers are used to measure the polarization properties and optical spot intensities of a laser beam, which go through the micromodulator by the <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$Z$</tex-math></inline-formula>-scanning method. The polarization properties of a <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$S$</tex-math></inline-formula>-polarized and a <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$P$</tex-math></inline-formula>-polarized light are researched. The optical intensities of laser beam are obtained for <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$S$</tex-math></inline-formula>-polarized light by the <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$Z$</tex-math></inline-formula>-scanning method. The results show that the groove films can affect the polarization properties of the <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$P$</tex-math></inline-formula>-polarized light but do not change the polarization properties of the <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$S$</tex-math></inline-formula>-polarized light. The optical spot intensity of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$S$</tex-math></inline-formula>-polarized light can be changed with the help of groove films as the scattering effect.
