Lasers and laser-related equipment - Test methods for laser beam parameters - Polarization (ISO 12005:2003)
This Standard defines a method for determining the polarization status and, whenever possible, the degree of polarization of laser beams.
Laser und Laseranlagen - Prüfverfahren für Laserstrahlparameter - Polarisation (ISO 12005:2003)
Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Polarisationszustandes und, soweit möglich, des Polarisationsgrades für den Strahl eines Dauerstrich-Lasers fest. Sie kann auch auf repetitiv gepulste Laser angewandt werden, wenn sich deren Ausrichtung des elektrischen Feldvektors von Puls zu Puls nicht ändert.
Diese Internationale Norm definiert ebenfalls das Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Richtung der Schwingungsebene für den Fall (vollständig oder teilweise) linear polarisierter Laserstrahlen. Es wird angenommen, dass die Laserstrahlung quasi-monochromatisch und für den Messzweck hinreichend stabil ist.
Die Kenntnis des Polarisationszustandes kann für einige Anwendungen von Lasern mit hohem Divergenzwinkel sehr wichtig sein, zum Beispiel wenn der Strahl eines solchen Lasers mit polarisationsabhängigen Vorrichtungen (wie polarisationserhaltenden Fasern) gekoppelt wird. Diese Internationale Norm legt auch ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Polarisationszustandes von hochdivergenten Laserstrahlen sowie für die Messung von Strahlen mit großen Aperturen fest.
Lasers et équipements associés aux lasers - Méthodes d'essai des parametres du faisceau laser - Polarisation (ISO 12005:2003)
L'ISO 12005:2003 spécifie une méthode de détermination de l'état et, chaque fois que cela est possible, du degré de polarisation d'un laser continu (cw). Elle peut également être appliquée aux lasers impulsionnels répétitifs, à condition que l'orientation du vecteur champ électrique ne change pas d'une impulsion à l'autre.
L'ISO 12005:2003 spécifie également la méthode permettant de déterminer la direction du plan des oscillations pour les faisceaux lasers à polarisation linéaire (totale ou partielle). Le rayon laser est supposé être quasi monochromatique et suffisamment stable pour pouvoir être mesuré.
La connaissance de l'état de polarisation peut être très importante pour certaines applications de lasers hautement divergents, par exemple lorsque le rayon d'un tel laser doit être couplé avec des dispositifs dépendant de la polarisation (par exemple fibres de maintien de polarisation). L'ISO 12005:2003 spécifie également une méthode pour la détermination de l'état de polarisation des faisceaux laser hautement divergents, ainsi que qu'une méthode pour la mesure des faisceaux de large ouverture.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 12005 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 172, Optics and optical instruments, Subcommittee
SC 9, Electro-optical systems.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 12005:1999), which has been technically
revised.

Introduction
This International Standard specifies a relatively quick and simple method, requiring minimum equipment, for
determining the state of polarization of a laser beam.
This method is for well-polarized laser beams, including those emitted by lasers with a high divergence angle.
However, if more completeness in the determination of the polarization status is required, the use of a more
sophisticated analysing device is necessary. Although not within the scope of this International Standard, the
principle of operation of such devices is given in Annex A, together with a description of the Stokes parameters
which are needed in that case.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 12005:2003(E)
Lasers and laser-related equipment — Test methods for laser
beam parameters — Polarization
1Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for determining the polarization status and, whenever possible,
the degree of polarization of the beam from a continuous wave (cw) laser. It can also be applied to repetitively
pulsed lasers, if their electric field vector orientation does not change from pulse to pulse.
This International Standard also specifies the method for determining the direction of the plane of oscillation in
the case of linearly polarized (totally or partially) laser beams. It is assumed that the laser radiation is quasi-
monochromatic and sufficiently stable for the purpose of the measurement.
The knowledge of the polarization status can be very important for some applications of lasers with a high
divergence angle, for instance when the beam of such a laser shall be coupled with polarization dependent
devices (e.g. polarization maintaining fibres). This International Standard also specifies a method for the
determination of the state of polarization of highly divergent laser beams, as well as for the measurement of
beams with large apertures.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 11145:2001, IEC 61040:1990,
CIE 59-1984 and the following apply.
3.1
polarization
restriction of oscillations of the electric field vector to certain directions
NOTE This is a fundamental phenomenon which can be explained by the concept that electromagnetic radiation is a
transverse wave motion, i. e. the vibrations are at right angles to the direction of propagation. It is customary to consider
these vibrations as being those of the electric field vector.
3.2
state of polarization
classification of polarization as linear, random, circular, elliptical or unpolarized

direction of polarization

3.5

direction of radiation propagation (see Annex A).
3.6
ellipticity angle
�
angle whose tangent is the ellipticity
◦ ◦ ◦
NOTE The ellipticity angle is constrained to −45 � ��+ 45 . When �=± 45 the polarization is circular and when

incident radiation
