getWavePlateBasis

getWavePlateBasis(theta_qwp,theta_hwp,flipPBS)

Given the angles for the QWP and HWP plate find the measurement basis. PBS is assumed to transmit Horizontally polarized light and reflect vertical. This function does not take into account crosstalk.

Parameters:
  • theta_qwp : string

    The angle with respect to horizontal for the quarter wave plate.

  • theta_hwp : string

    The angle with respect to horizontal for the quarter wave plate. flipPBS: bool Set this to true to assume the PBS transmits V and reflects H

Returns:
