ABSTRACT:
Young's interferometer consisting of a single slit and a double slit member, and an analyzer are arranged along the axis of light to be measured. Parallel slits of the double slit member are provided with respective polarizers whose paralyzing directions are at .+-.45.degree. to the longitudinal direction of the parallel slits. The polarizing direction of the analyzer is set in parallel with the parallel slits. The incident light passes through Young's interferometer and the analyzer to form an interference fringe, which is detected by an image detector unit. An image analyzer unit produces an intensity profile of the interference fringe and determines the polarization state of the incident light, for instance, by comparing the produced intensity profile with conceivable profiles stored in advance.
