The difference is that a variable retarder oriented with its fast axis at 45° to linear polarized light will leave one axis of the ellipse along the original polarization direction. Some types of compensators, as for example the Brace, the Senarmont, and the Babinet, do not behave in this way. They are excluded from the discus sion. In any case, the comprehension of the action of these types would be simplified by referring to the Poincare sphere, and the reader is encouraged to study Section 7 of Chapter 4 before consulting the literature concerning these compensators (see, for example, Driscoll and Vaughan [3] Chapter 10).
Below these power levels efficiency can be quite good, ranging from 50% to 90% in the visible. Different grades are available, which trade off efficiency for extinction ratio. A major advantage of sheet polarizers is their low cost. Even the most expensive dichroic polarizer is typically an order of magnitude less expensive than the least expensive prism polarizer. Further, no premium is usually paid for larger apertures since there is no particular physical limit on the size of the sheets that can be made.
Linear Polarizers 31 itself but by the glass used to protect the sheet from damage. Sheet polarizers perform quite well throughout the visible region of the spectrum. In the near-ultraviolet, the extinction ratio usually deteriorates due to an increase in lL. Different types are available that vary considerably in performance in this region. None, however, approach the performance of prism polarizers between 300 and 400 nm. Below approximately 330 nm, sheet polarizers often become totally opaque because of absorption by the glass protective plates as well as by the plastic sheet material.
