scope:
Defines a method for determining the polarization status and, whenever possible, the degree of polarization of the beam from a 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 standard also defines the method for determining the direction of the plane of vibration in the case of linearly polarized (totally or partially) laser beams. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the laser radiation is quasi-monochromatic and sufficiently stable for the purpose of the measurement.
