This vid shows that my argon laser is not polarized. The foil is a polarizer from LCD display. The green laser is linearly polarized and it's shown for comparison and to show that the LCD polarizer works.

  • Because of this I can't modulate the beam with EOM nor AOM. I can only use mechanical modulation, which is crappy. I could use a polarizer before EOM but then half of the power would be lost.

  • so?

    what happend?
