Abstract. The effect of parameters of a polarization nephelometer on its accuracy characteristic is analyzed. Errors in approximation of the actual scattering volume and actual optical beam by the elementary scattering volume and elementary beam are considered. A five-wave monochromatic source of radiation with the high spectral intensity of 0.15÷0.6 W is described. The design of polarization units is demonstrated.
Keywords: polarization, nephelometer, non-isotropic scatterer, scattering matrix, elementary volume, elementary optical beam, approximation error, LED, encoder, microprocessor, precision position control, pulse width modulation, PID controller
