Lasers and laser-related equipment - Test methods for laser beam parameters - Polarization (ISO 12005:2022)
This document specifies a method, which is a relatively quick and simple method with minimum equipment, for determining the polarization status and, whenever possible, the degree of polarization of the beam from a continuous wave (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 document also specifies the method for determining the direction of the electric-field vector oscillation in the case of (completely or partially) linearly polarized laser beams. It is assumed that the laser radiation is quasimonochromatic and sufficiently stable for the purpose of the measurement. This document is applicable to radiation that has uniform polarization over its cross-sectional area.
The knowledge of the polarization status can be very important for some applications of lasers with a high divergence angle, for instance when the beam of such a laser shall be coupled with polarization dependent devices (e.g. polarization maintaining fibres). This document is applicable not only for a narrow and almost collimated laser beam but also for highly divergent beams as well as for beams with large apertures.
Laser und Laseranlagen - Prüfverfahren für Laserstrahlparameter - Polarisation (ISO 12005:2022)
Dieses Dokument legt ein verhältnismäßig einfaches und schnelles Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Polarisa¬tionszustandes und, soweit möglich, des Polarisationsgrades für den Strahl eines Dauerstrich-Lasers (cw, en: continuous wave) fest, das lediglich ein Mindestmaß an Ausrüstung erfordert. Es kann auch auf repetitiv gepulste Laser angewandt werden, wenn sich die Ausrichtung des elektrischen Feldvektors von Puls zu Puls nicht ändert.
Dieses Dokument definiert ebenfalls das Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Richtung der Schwingung des elek¬trischen Feldvektors für den Fall (vollständig oder teilweise) linear polarisierter Laserstrahlen. Es wird angenommen, dass die Laserstrahlung quasi-monochromatisch und für den Messzweck hinreichend stabil ist. Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar für Strahlung die eine einheitliche Polarisation über ihre gesamte Quer¬schnittsfläche aufweist.
Die Kenntnis des Polarisationszustandes kann für einige Anwendungen von Lasern mit hohem Divergenz¬winkel sehr wichtig sein, zum Beispiel, wenn der Strahl eines solchen Lasers mit polarisationsabhängigen Vor¬richtungen (wie polarisationserhaltenden Fasern) gekoppelt wird. Dieses Dokument ist nicht nur für schmale und nahezu kollimierte Strahlen anwendbar, sondern auch für hochdivergente Strahlen sowie für Strahlen mit großen Aperturen.
Lasers et équipements associés aux lasers - Méthodes d'essai des paramètres du faisceau laser - Polarisation (ISO 12005:2022)
Le présent document spécifie une méthode, relativement rapide et simple, nécessitant un équipement minimal pour la détermination de l'état et, chaque fois que cela est possible, du degré de polarisation d'un laser continu (cw). Elle peut également être appliquée aux lasers impulsionnels répétitifs, à condition que l'orientation du vecteur champ électrique ne change pas d'une impulsion à l'autre.
Le présent document spécifie également la méthode permettant de déterminer la direction du vecteur champ électrique pour les faisceaux lasers à polarisation linéaire (totale ou partielle). Le rayon laser est supposé être quasi monochromatique et suffisamment stable pour pouvoir être mesuré. Le présent document s'applique aux rayonnements qui ont une polarisation uniforme sur leur section transversale.
La connaissance de l'état de polarisation peut être très importante pour certaines applications de lasers hautement divergents, par exemple lorsque le rayon d'un tel laser doit être couplé avec des dispositifs dépendant de la polarisation (par exemple fibres de maintien de polarisation). Le présent document spécifie également une méthode pour la détermination de l'état de polarisation des faisceaux lasers hautement divergents, ainsi qu'une méthode pour la mesure des faisceaux de large ouverture. Le présent document est applicable non seulement pour un faisceau laser étroit et presque collimaté mais aussi pour des faisceaux fortement divergents ainsi que pour des faisceaux à grande ouverture.
Laserji in laserska oprema - Preskusne metode za parametre laserskega žarka - Polarizacija (ISO 12005:2022)
Ta dokument določa razmeroma hitro in preprosto metodo, ob uporabi minimalne opreme, za določanje stanja polarizacije in, kadar je to mogoče, stopnje polarizacije žarka laserja s trajnim valovanjem (cw). Uporabiti ga je mogoče tudi za pulzne laserje, če se med posameznimi pulzi ne spremeni usmerjenost vektorja njihovega električnega polja.
Ta dokument določa tudi metodo za ugotavljanje smeri nihanja vektorja električnega polja pri (popolnoma ali delno) linearno polariziranih laserskih žarkih. Predpostavlja se, da je lasersko sevanje kvazi-monokromatsko in dovolj stabilno za merjenje. Ta dokument se uporablja za sevanje s polarizacijo, ki je enotna po celotnem preseku.
Poznavanje stanja polarizacije je lahko zelo pomembno pri nekaterih načinih uporabe laserjev z velikim divergentnim kotom, na primer, kadar je treba žarek iz takega laserja spojiti z napravami, ki so odvisne od polarizacije (npr. vlakna, ki ohranjajo polarizacijo). Ta dokument se ne uporablja le za ozke in skoraj kolimirane laserske žarke, temveč tudi za močno divergentne žarke in žarke z
velikimi odprtinami.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 172, Optics and Photonics, Subcommittee
SC 9, Laser and electro-optical systems, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization
(CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 123, Lasers and photonics, in accordance with the agreement on
technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 12005:2003), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— Description errors in 4.5 (Analysis of the results) were corrected.
— Definitions of the “degree of polarization” and the “degree of linear polarization” were made clear.
— Definition of extinction ratio was changed.
— Previous 3.3 (direction of polarization), 3.4 (plane of polarization), and 3.5 (ellipticity) were deleted,
because these terms are confusing due to the different definitions, and they are not necessarily
required for this document. Previous 3.11 (Stokes parameters) was deleted and moved to Annex A,
because they are not used in the measurement and analysis.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Introduction
This document deals with a method for determining the polarization state of a laser beam.
This document is applicable for well-polarized laser beams, including those emitted by lasers with a
high divergence angle. However, if more completeness in the determination of the polarization status
is required, the use of a more sophisticated analysing device is necessary. Although not within the
scope of this document, the principle of operation of such devices is given in
