Abstract
- The polarization angle rotation of the propagating beam was estimated in a partially ionized atmosphere under discharge conditions. The polarization plane angle rotation is caused by the magneto-optical effect (Faraday effect). The estimated rotation angle is of the order of <1 degree, but can be detected with an extinction ratio of polarization of >30 dB. We examined the effects of the optical path length of repeating square mirror optics and an air-gap length of the discharge on the rotation angle. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
