Engineering Physics Annotation << Back THE ANALYSIS OF SEMICONDUCTOR LASERS POLARIZED RADIATION REFLECTION FACTORS M.P.M. GUILCATOMA, A.P. SAVENKOV, M.E. SAFONOVA, V.A. SYCHEV To determine the degree of polarization of semiconductor lasers radiation the dependencies of refl ection factors on the incidence angle were analyzed. theoretically and experimentally. The dependencies for waves polarization plane of whose coincides with the incident plane and waves with polarization plane perpendicular to incident plane were obtained. Experimental investigations made on two liquids with signifi cantly different refraction indexes: water and epoxy resin. High degree of agreement between experimental and theoretical data allows considering radiation of laser diodes as fully polarized. The degree of polarization is not less than 99 %. It is necessary to use the obtained results during development of contactless optical detectors of distance to liquid surface. Key words: semiconductor, laser, diode, polarization, refl ection factor, dependence, incident angle, degree of polarization, liquid, distance, measurement.
