A study on transmitted intensity of disturbance for air-spaced Glan-type n polarizing prisms

We study theoretically and experimentally the transmission intensity of npolarized light through the air-spaced Glan-type polarizing prsims. It is found nthat the variation of the transmitted intensity with the rotation angle ndeviates from Malus Law, exhibiting a cyclic fluctuation with the rotation nangle. The occurrence of the disturbance is explained by the use of an..
