摘　　要：利用Jones矩阵分析双λ/4波片对正入射线偏振光的复合效应,提出了在椭圆偏振光长短轴方位未知、λ/4波片光轴未标出的情况下,验证椭圆偏振光与部分偏振光的实验方法,利用偏振光实验平台进行的测试结果与理论分析相吻合.The compound effect of two quarter-wave plate is analyzed with the method of Jones matrix. The result indicates that we can detect elliptically polarized light and partial elliptically polarized light even when the direction of the long/short axis of the elliptical polarization light and the optical axis of the quarter-wave plate are unknown. The experiments show that the test results accord with the theoretical analyses.
