Abstract

See full text

A variable retarder is inserted in a polarized light beam. The retardance of the variable retarder is increased when the light beam increases in brightness and is decreased when the light beam decreases in brightness. The amount of increase and/or decrease in retardance is calculated to stabilize the brightness of the light beam. The variable retarder may be used in conjunction with an auto-iris and share a same brightness detector.
