Paez Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas polarizers Interference polarization interferometry interferometers Changes of polarization occur as a consequence of the interaction of light and the various optical elements through which it passes. Acircularly polarized light beam may change its state to slightly elliptically polarized for many reasons. To correct this is not always easybut we show a very simple method for correcting circular polarization that has changed slightly into elliptic polarization. In this paper wepropose to restore the circular state of polarization of an elliptically polarized light beam back to circular by means of a glass plate properlyoriented while polarization is being measured. The basic idea is to modulate the transmittances of the electric field in both the major andminor axes of the ellipse of polarization. It is done by means of glass plates at non-normal incidence. Experimental results are consistentwith theory. 2005 artículo científico 0035-001X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57064111 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/570/57064111/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/570/57064111/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/570/57064111/57064111.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/570/57064111/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=570 Revista Mexicana de Física application/pdf Sociedad Mexicana de Física A.C.
