Clockwork Polarization Controller - Waveplate Calculator
thingiverse
Here's a detailed model of a quarter waveplate, showing how it alters the polarization of light entering it. The Wikipedia article on waveplates provides more information on this concept. The labels represent the extreme points on the Poincare sphere, and are identified as Horizontal, Vertical, Diagonal (+45 degrees), Antidiagonal (-45 degrees), Right-handed circular, and Left-handed circular. This model can be used to perform complex calculations. For a deeper understanding of how it works, visit the Tinkeringsdotorg website for an article on clockwork waveplates and polarization calculations with gears.
