The polarization of a helium-neon laser can change with time. The light from a 1.5 mW laser
Question:
The polarization of a helium-neon laser can change with time. The light from a 1.5 mW laser is initially horizontally polarized; as the laser warms up, the light changes to be vertically polarized. Suppose the laser beam passes through a polarizer whose axis is 30° from horizontal. By what percent does the light intensity transmitted through the polarizer decrease as the laser warms up?
