About Scattered Light Polarimetry

Scattered light polarimetry is an optical technique used to analyze how light scatters when it interacts with a sample. When polarized light interacts with matter, the scattered light can have different polarization states depending on the properties of the material.

In this visualization:

Adjust the incident light polarization angle using the slider
Select different sample types to see how they affect scattering
Change the detection angle to observe scattering at different positions

The visualization shows how the polarization state changes after scattering, and the intensity of scattered light at the chosen detection angle.

About Stress-Induced Birefringence

Stress-induced birefringence occurs when mechanical stress creates an anisotropic refractive index in an otherwise isotropic material. This effect can be observed using polarized light and is commonly used in materials science and engineering.
